Mothers in Science organized a conference that brought together STEMM students and professionals, non-profit organizations, research institutions and science societies to discuss the structural barriers holding mothers back and to brainstorm long-term actionable solutions to close the gender gap in STEMM. Policies and interventions for supporting mothers in STEMM during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic also had been discussed. In a session focused on promoting systemic change, leading experts will highlight current research on gender policy and the mechanisms of workforce inequality. Finally, all participants were invited to join an open webinar to discuss these issues and brainstorm ideas for building an inclusive system for everyone in STEMM.
