I want men in science to think about this. Think about the biases you have grown up with so much you're probably not even aware you have them. 🧪 #WomenInSTEM
What surprised me the most was how *early* these divergences by STEM fields emerge.

By age 6, kids already see girls as worse at computer science and engineering. But...there's no early male bias for math. (I made this graph for a broader audience).

Six-year-olds have quite nuanced beliefs!

I model the gravitational waves that come from binary black holes where one is a supermassive black hole and the other is a much smaller (but still pretty huge) stellar mass black hole, known as Extreme Mass Ratio Inspirals. As you can see, these things get pretty complicated 🧪⚛️🎢🔭🧮

I’m convinced there is a portal to a spider universe in my bathroom. If a spider is found in my house, it’s almost always in the bathroom.
Why must they ambush us at our most vulnerable?!

If anyone’s looking for alternatives to GoodReads, I highly recommend StoryGraph. It’s owned by a black woman, and the platform is so much more accessible and easy to use.
