If you’re a believer in ‘you’ve got to see it to be it’ and have ever wondered why 15% of STEM jobs are held by women, a new Aussie study might have a clue… Researchers from Curtin University found an “alarming” lack of female scientists in high school curriculums around the country, calling the lack of women “inaccurate”. The syllabi (dare you to use that in a sentence today…) in Queensland, South Oz, and the Nothern Territory include one female scientist – chemist Rosalind Franklin – while the other states didn’t mention a single woman STEM leader. Researcher Tegan Clark points out there’s no shortage of pioneers to choose from, including Marie Curie, who won a Nobel Prize for her work on radioactivity. In response to the study, Queensland has promised to address its gender imbalance, and NSW says it’s “taking steps”.
