I just reviewed 4 proposals for an engineering design/construction project. Each one submitted 8 key personnel resumes. Guess how many of the 32(!) resumes are females? Hint- it’s above 1 but less than 3... yep 2/32. And they were both the same firm. MORE WOMEN IN STEM PLEASE! 😑

Wondering why Canada has a 30by30 project to support #women and achieve 30% licensed #engineers be women by 2030? This graph shows why: in 26 years, women’s representation in #engineering #education has increased very slowly. Proactive intervention is now needed. @PEO_HQ

Not sure who needs to hear this: You are not overwhelmed. You are overextended.

Same questions for engineers in general- looking to open some dialogue to expand on our recent article on allyship!

Latest EngGirlProblems blog post by @AlvinPilobello about Male Allyship in the Disrupted Engineering Workplace. While originally written with male allyship in mind, we can all listen and show up more for all of our colleagues in the engineering workplace. enggirlproblems.com/allposts…

This pandemic is exactly why I hated group projects in school.

My biggest achievement yet- (NERVOUS) me in @CityHallLabour alongside directors, researchers and CEO’s talking ways to tackle inequality in stem. This is my response to #blm - working on positioning myself to internally push for change #WomenInSTEM #womenintech #BlackTechTwitter

Same goes for workplaces.

Hey faculty - when students point out the lack of diversity and inclusion in #academia, replace: "I've been doing [xyz] to promote diversity and inclusion." with: "I will work to do better because the current efforts aren't enough." #AcademicTwitter #phdchat #phdlife

Last week I shared how microaggressions can feel like ‘death by a thousand cuts’ in (and outside) of the workplace and talked about my recent growth on Instagram with the @nicolevassell for the @Independent — read more here: independent.co.uk/life-style…
