Does parenthood influence career trajectories of academics? 🥁🥁
YES!

Celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science by looking at our striking graphs 👀
A large gender gap persists in STEM disciplines across the world that is bad for innovation, talent attraction & against fairness principles. On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, @ansolassen.bsky.social @cairosofie.bsky.social @valentinatartari.bsky.social are sharing our findings ⬇️
