The Gender in Physics Working Group of Indian Physics Association for making the Indian physics profession more diverse and inclusive. Manged by @srubabati
We wonder how hard the organizers must have tried to get ZERO women representation among 45 top engineers across India and the world.
Base rate of Indian women faculty in engineering: 9.2%
ICWIP’s influence continues.
This week @IUPAP_physics General Assembly is meeting in Geneva/online. They’re discussing a range of issues for diversity and equality including the recommendations from our conference.

Papers are all online: indico.cern.ch/event/1065120…
We just began the panel on #Diversity and #Inclusion in Astroparticle Physics, chaired by Inés Gil Botella (@cfp_Ciemat). This is an interesting new activity in the #TAUP conference series that aims at bringing together scientists to discuss about problems in our community.
Eagerly looking fwd to taking qns on what I have to say tomorrow on "Do Scientists Cultivate Scientific Thinking?" facebook.com/bss.karnataka

This is really wonderful. Many of our individual experiences could be related to theories in social science showing it's a systemic effect. A better understanding of. these would certainly help to address biases.. @srubabati
Report 1 of Season 6!
We kickstart the season with a multimedia report about Rohini Londhe, a technical officer in charge of the hydra facility at @ari_pune, who did something super gutsy to save her hydra during the nationwide lockdown

The hugely inspiring Joceyln Bell Burnell -- a role model for many.
Is it ever okay in any circumstance for a scientist, the only woman in her department, to be informed that for an upcoming outreach event, her role is to "plant trees", while all others have science-related tasks?
July 26th in year 1918, Emmy Noether's paper, which became known as Noether's theorem was presented at Göttingen, Germany, from which conservation laws are deduced for symmetries of angular momentum, linear momentum, and energy. #EmmyNoether#history#datefacts
