At Western, we have a history of prolific #WomenInScience, including pioneers like Helen Battle, one of the first zoologists to actively apply lab research methods to marine problems. Learn more about her through our Heritage project: www.uwo.ca/projects/her... (3/7)

Although STEM fields are critical to tackling the grand challenges of our time, most countries today – including Canada – haven’t achieved gender equality in STEM.

In fact, globally, women only make up 33.3% of STEM researchers. We need all voices at the table to solve the world's problems. (2/7)

Today we celebrate the 10th anniversary of @unesco.org's International Day of Women and Girls in Science, and I wanted to share some important facts about how far we've come and how far we need to go. 🧵(1/7) #WomenInScience

Today is @unesconow.bsky.social International Day of Education, which celebrates the role of education for peace and development and reminds us that Education is a human right, a public good and a public responsibility.

Unseen but influential associates🕵️‍♀️. In this new paper with Emiko Muraki, we find that semantic processing is influenced by properties of presented words' (non-presented) associates. Out today in @psychonomicsociety.bsky.social PB&R. Sharedit link here: rdcu.be/dAEtc
