From Alpha to Authentic: Evolving Gender Narratives in STEM

Gender diversity in STEM is constantly evolving.

But how far have we come and what do we still need to do to make it more equal?

To discuss this, I am joined by a panel of special guests, Amber Penrose, Gregory Antonios and Philipp Baaske.

We explore each other’s experiences with gender diversity in STEM. Getting perspectives from both women and men on this topic is essential for the situation to improve.

We discuss improvements in biological sciences but persistent issues in retaining women in higher positions. We also discuss the need for supportive work environments, mentorship, and leadership that values diversity.

The conversation underscored the necessity of inclusive leadership, mentorship, and open dialogue to foster genuine diversity and equality in STEM.

There are lots of challenges and fears surrounding these topics, but the more conversations like this that we have, the better things will become.

“The further you get up the ladder the less women there are.”- Amber Penrose
