" #Arctic Expedition’s Dress Code Raises Concerns About #Sexism in #Science." Great to see this covered in @nytimes.
But the author& #39;s claim that “there is not much research” on “inequities faced by women in science-related fields”? That’s absurd. 1/ https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1312442309154234369">https://twitter.com/nytimes/s...

Not only is there a ton of research on gender inequity in STEM - there’s actually research showing how research on gender inequity in science is ignored and devalued (ahem) 2/ https://www.wired.com/story/why-men-dont-believe-the-data-on-gender-bias-in-science/">https://www.wired.com/story/why...
There are entire journal issues dedicated to the subject, like this one from @TheLancet 3/ https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/issue/vol393no10171/PIIS0140-6736(19)X0006-9">https://www.thelancet.com/journals/...
There are also massive reading lists with research about diversity, equity, & inclusion in science, including gender research, like this one by Priya Shukla 4/ https://medium.com/@priyology/diversity-inclusion-in-science-a-reading-list-a45cea40b972">https://medium.com/@priyolog...
We’ve also got research on gender inequity in polar science, specifically (and more forthcoming, from myself and others). Check out the research network on gender in the Arctic… 5/ https://gender-arctic.jimdofree.com"> https://gender-arctic.jimdofree.com
…and important research on gender inequity in Antarctic science from @babybumpproject @widewhitestage and others 6/ https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0209983">https://journals.plos.org/plosone/a...
Last year I co-authored an article about #intersectional gender inequity in polar research with @DrRenukaBadhe and @Iqrathebookworm - see the bibliography for loads of relevant research 7/ https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/polar-record/article/intersectionality-and-international-polar-research/4F9424A0A634F12565ED9AB903C4336F">https://www.cambridge.org/core/jour...
And check out the DEI Resource Repository from @Polar_Research, which includes peer-reviewed research on gender inequity in science (you can search the repository for “gender”)… 8/ https://www.apecs.is/career-resources/diversity-equity-inclusion/dei-resources.html">https://www.apecs.is/career-re...
Yes, there’s much more research to be done. But the NYT& #39;s claim that “there is not much research” on “inequities faced by women in science-related fields”? No way. The research is abundant and clear: it’s time to accelerate change. /
