[Womeninmedicine] A call to create funding equity for researcher-mums

[Weisz, Ora Anna]

A high-yield statistic (emphasis added) for those of you skimming your email (definitely read the whole article later!):

"Key takeaways from the survey, corroborated by earlier, country-specific studies1<https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nature.com%2Farticles%2Fd41586-023-00252-5%3Futm_source%3DNature%2BBriefing%26utm_campaign%3D40ee2eac7f-briefing-dy-20230130%26utm_medium%3Demail%26utm_term%3D0_c9dfd39373-40ee2eac7f-44976205%23ref-CR1&data=05%7C01%7Cwomeninmedicine%40list.pitt.edu%7Ce4e27d6a969b457adfd908db046c9210%7C9ef9f489e0a04eeb87cc3a526112fd0d%7C1%7C0%7C638108636569604583%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=a7itQ3jU1HHdMgJSo%2BawZp4h9QKVQKtOrkOwaDPRHj4%3D&reserved=0>, include the fact that in the decade following the birth or adoption of their first child, scientist-mums published at least ten fewer papers on average than did scientist-fathers. Women were also three times more likely than men to say that they received fewer offers of professional opportunities after becoming parents, and roughly one-third of mothers in full-time STEMM positions ultimately left their jobs.
