Insights from the Carers in STEMM survey + real strategies for change.

#CarersInSTEMM #YEFIS #AcademicCaregiving #EquityInAcademia #ImprovingAcademia

As part of #CarersInSTEMM we are working to highlight available #funding and #grants for #academic carers wishing to participate in meetings, conferences & workshops.

Please share links / information you are familiar with so we can try to increase the reach of these opportunities. Thank you!

Maybe we're too late to join the party, but can we get a planet for #CarersInSTEMM? 😁 We're an EDI initiative trying to make life easier for researchers with caring responsibilities... we also love espresso martinis 🍸

Carers in STEMM

Hi everyone! 👋

As we're new to Bluesky, we thought it would be a good idea to introduce ourselves! 😁 You can find more details about all of us and the #CarersInSTEMM project on our website (carersinstemm.co.uk)

A thread🧵😊

The image is a promotional poster for a survey aimed at UK-based STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) researchers who are also carers. The flyer features the University of Manchester logo in the top-left corner and the "Carers in STEMM" logo in the top-right corner, which includes a symbol of scales and the slogan "Balancing caring and careers." Main text: "Are you a UK-based STEMM researcher and a parent or carer? We want to hear from you." Below this, there is a prompt asking people to fill in an anonymous survey to share their experiences as carers. It adds: "We want to know how well you think you are balancing your care responsibilities and career." There is a photograph of a smiling woman holding a baby, standing in front of a research poster. The website for the survey is provided: www.carersinstemm.co.uk, and the closing date is listed as 8/11/24. A QR code is also displayed for participants to scan and access the survey directly.
