Women in SET at the University of Portsmouth

Due to my involvement in the University of Portsmouth Athena SWAN committe, I've recently started a new blog about Women in SET at the University of Portsmouth.

Mostly it'll be contributed profiles about women working in SET subjects at the university, but I also posted links to discussions of a recent study demonstrating gender bias is still real in science, and some beautiful posters honouring six amazing women who've changed the world with science.

Those posters are so lovely I'll reproduce them again here:

Women in STEM at Portsmouth

I'm part of the University of Portsmouth Athena SWAN committee. We're working to submit for a Bronze Award in November to this organization which "recognises and celebrates good employment practice for women working in science, engineering and technology (SET) in higher education and research. "


One idea we had to get started was a blog promoting the many women working in STEM fields at our university. So I now have another blog to run! ;) 


Here's the first post - pointing out a poster which exists profiling some of the young women researcher in science and enginneering at Portsmouth.

Including our very own Heather Campbell from the Institute of Cosmology and Gravitation, pictured helping to install the low band antennas of the LOFAR station in Chilbolton.
