  • 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. Women have made groundbreaking contributions to science, yet history shows us that their achievements have too often been overlooked. International Day of Women and Girls in Science is a reminder that while progress has been made, there’s still work to do. Unconscious bias, lack of recognition, and barriers to leadership continue to hold back incredible talent. Aimee’s considered and fair approach ensures women in STEM not only have a seat at the table but are truly valued for their expertise. Let’s keep the conversation going and push for real progress. 🚀👩🔬 #WomenInSTEM #RepresentationMatters #WomenInScience

    Specialist Recruiter | Placing Leaders in PV, Regulatory, and Clinical in the USA 🔬🗽

    Science thrives on talent, yet history shows us that not all talent has been equally recognised... Women like Rosalind Franklin, whose data was crucial to discovering DNA’s structure, and Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who detected the first pulsar, have often been overshadowed. Chien-Shiung Wu’s groundbreaking work in nuclear physics was overlooked, with her male colleagues receiving the accolades. 🌟 These stories are just a few examples of how women’s contributions have too often gone unrecognised. 👩🔬 It’s why I’m so passionate about recruiting talent into science, ensuring women not only have a seat at the table but are truly valued for their brilliance. On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we’re reminded of how much more needs to be done. Women in STEM still face barriers in recognition, funding, and leadership. 🧪 In hiring, we often hear about finding the best candidates, but unconscious bias can limit who’s considered. Ensuring that women in STEM have equal access to opportunities isn’t just about diversity; it’s about ensuring the most capable people are in the right roles. Representation matters at every level, from early careers to leadership. So, what are we doing to make that happen? #WomenInScience #STEM #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience #DiversityInHiring
