Yesterday I found this message in my inbox:“Hi Nicole, I saw your invite, apologize but I cannot participate. I think science is not a question of gender, just if you like, if you want, just be scientist ;-) scientific laws do not include gender factors on the scientist :-)”I had to read it twice to really understand what she was saying. She won’t participate in this event because it is aimed at helping women in STEM.Reading her message over again today, there are points in there that are true. That I totally agree with. But the conclusion she draws is not based on the facts *why* I created the event in the first place.I agree - science as such is not a question of gender.Everyone who likes and wants to be a scientist, just go be a scientist.And yes, gravity holds true for you no matter how you identify.But… the people making decisions in companies and organisations about how science is applied. Who’s getting what position and salary and research grant. The access to scientific education and professional development and career opportunities. Those things do depend on gender.And that’s why I created Women in STEM, Reimagined. To make top-notch professional development accessible to women in the field. To build a community of learning, growth and opportunity. It’s ok if she doesn’t join.Over 160 other women in STEM already signed up.And I invite you, too. It’s happening 12-18 September. It’s free. It’s awesome. And those who choose to upgrade support a noble cause.__________________TL;DR:Women in STEM, Reimagined is a free online masterclass series bringing together 16 coaches, mentors and career strategists to help you stand out with confidence, become the go-to expert in your area and spark your next-level career move.12-18 Septemberlisten on your own timejoin the communityit’s free to attend --- sign up here: https://womeninstem-reimagined.com/
