Folks! It's so good to see this back. If you are any flavour of queer doing any flavour of science, tech, engineering, or maths - come along! It's free and a lovely time, I promise. Their taste in plenary speakers is also impeccable...

Hey @spavel.bsky.social I hope you don’t mind but we did the thing for real
Inspired by Pavel’s lineup of Pride Moths, an assortment of Lepidoptera embodying the colorways of various Pride flags. I’m sorry we don’t have a nice big one for the intersex pride moth, these are all the Pride bookmarks available at the library on short notice.

Only took the first week of Pride Month to see @nature.com publish an article assigning binary genders using ChatGPT to authors. 🙃 In our queer opinion, could we not? www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Women’s participation in science has risen sharply, but a Nature Index analysis finds that gender gaps in first and last authorship — markers of key scientific achievements — have barely shifted over ...

10 years ago I attended my first LGBTQ+ STEMinar and realised what I'd be missing for years without even knowing it: a sense of community. I never looked back. If you're queer, in STEM, and in the UK, I strongly recommend going.

One of our plenary speakers is Alex Bond @thelabandfield.bsky.social. If you have interacted with LGBTQ+ STEM in the past, then you probably know Alex and how much of a superstar he is! #LGBTQSTEMinar26
Alex is smiling in the rainforest, wearing a blue shirt and a read backpack to the left of a trail through the forest.

We provide guidance on how to handle data collection with respect to LGBTQ+ characteristics and reasons one may look to use such data. We then outline model questions, various pitfalls one can introduce in questionnaires, and provide guidance on how to update one's questionnaire over time.

It is shameful that the #MaddoxPrize shortlist includes an 'activist' who calls trans people ‘damaged’ and a ‘huge problem in a sane world' and stated that the NHS Rainbow scheme is worse than Andrew Tate. Here is our statement: prideinstem.org/2023/10/24/p...
