I am a Physics undergrad student interested in particle physics research. I am motivated to create a change in the scientific community and promote inclusive and intersectional environments
Hi, I am Adam and at UCG I am combining social science with natural sciences. I am interested in what exact policies and improvements can help make the education system more gender inclusive, for example such as the university mentoring programme. Also, I am working on the website to make the to help the teachers with improving their practices.
My name is Zulima and I study Liberal Arts and Scienes. I’m interested in finding out how gender dynamics in society work within the STEM fields in order to inflict change for young women that can be referents for future generations. Building from education, big progress can be made! At the moment I am working in the research by developing the website and the workshop for teachers in inclusive practices :)
My name is Kik and I study Molecular Medicine and Innovative Treatment at the UMCG. I am a big believer in standpoint theory, and that diverse scientific teams ultimately drive innovation and strengthen their fields. As such, I am investigating some of the causes of the "leaky pipeline" that push women out of STEM fields - starting from high-school systems. I am also looking into advice for parents to support their children in STEM.
