Is there still a diversity gap in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics and is there a solution to close this gap? Though focused on #STEM in the UK, this is worth the read to kickstart the year: bit.ly/4fVw571

The roles that will grow the most in the future, including in #STEM, do not have a pipeline of women in them.
Reflecting on @wef’s #gendergap24 report, this video with @zahidi reinforces the global efforts needed to achieve gender parity. bit.ly/4hOVSPt

Intensifying agriculture has caused a reduction in soil carbon. Plant diversity, however, offers us a way to drive positive microbial associations that could enhance carbon use efficiency in agricultural soils. bit.ly/4f3mGKa

The overuse of fertilisers may cause nitrogen-fixing plants to lose their diversity. The “winners” and “losers” among nitrogen-fixing lineages varied among study sites, suggesting that losses are context dependent. bit.ly/48o4EzL

Though women are still leaving #STEM at higher rates than men, differences in attrition rates for those entering the field after 2010 are much smaller than previous generations (58.6% of women and 57.6% of men). bit.ly/4f0K37b

"[Biodiversity] loss is more than just a scientific or environmental concern; it’s a direct threat to global food security, and by extension, human survival."
Well-said, @CGIAR_EMD! Here’s why biodiversity matters for food security: bit.ly/3BGUcab
