International Women’s Day is Friday 8th March 2019, to celebrate we have dedicated this week’s show to discuss women in science and technology. There are fewer women in leadership roles in the sciences compared to men. Women also get paid less for the same work as their male peers and are more likely to leave the sector. We discuss some of the problems that women face in science and technology through the experiences and profiles of women in science that we admire. For more info you can head to the following links:https://www.chiefscientist.gov.au/wp-content/uploads/Infographic.pdfhttps://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-00611-1https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2018/6/13/17453360/sexual-harassment-report-science-metoohttps://scienceandtechnologyaustralia.org.au/science-gender-pay-gap-too-wide-and-job-insecurity-persists-new-report/https://www.sciencegenderequity.org.au/Acknowledgements:Intro music by Kevin McLeod and edited by Allanna Russell.Episode Cover image by https://medium.com/nevertheless-podcast/stem-role-models-posters-2404424b37dd
