Why do we need more women in STEM?
According to a report from the office of the Chief Scientist, only 16% of Australian STEM professionals are women.
To find out why this figure should change, we asked Katrina Falkner, Dean of Engineering at the University of Adelaide; Dr Rebecca Vivian of CSER; Dr Noushin Nasiri of UTS; Mitch Klenner of ANSTO; and Sarah Chapman, STEM Educator; why we need more women in STEM.
Their answers will inspire you.
