Often not even counted. 💬 “You’re pretty good… for a girl” In a world powered by tech, science, and data, you’d think diversity would be part of the equation by now. But women and non-binary people in STEM are still battling glass labs, leaky pipelines, and a deeply outdated image of who “belongs” in the field. 🔍 In our latest piece of the new monthly DEI in STEM article series, Julia Khalyavko (She/Her) unpacks: 💎The numbers behind the ongoing representation gap; 💎The stories of trailblazers like physicist ✨Dr. Jess Wade✨ of Imperial College London and transgender actress-coder-entrepreneur-activist 🎭Angelica Ross 🎭 of TransTech Social Enterprises; 💎The power of mentorship and sponsorship through global movements like #IAmRemarkable and Million Women Mentors . This isn’t just a “diversity issue.” It’s an issue of lost potential.
