Whilst change is happening, if it continues at the current rate, \u201ca simple statistical analysis of the data tells us that we will never reach gender parity\u201d. Whilst 44% of undergraduate students are women, this drops down to 39% for PhD students, dropping down to 29% for non-professional staff, and down again, to the very appalling figure of 9% of women Professors. Together with evidence of inequality, are \u201creports of bullying, discrimination and harassment\u201d. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rsc.org\/campaigning-outreach\/campaigning\/incldiv\/inclusion--diversity-resources\/womens-progression\/?utm_content=wpdp_staff_report&amp;utm_source=external-website&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_campaign\">You can read the full report here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Royal Society of Chemistry recently published an extensive report which explores the barriers to women\u2019s retention and progression in &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[9,88,5],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Equality in Chemistry?
