Science is a *human* endeavour.
And yet, we continue to teach students as if it were only a *male* endeavour.
We're trying to change that.

This is really disappointing. Women in STEM rock and need more acknowledgment.

Only QLD and SA/NT curricula make any mentions of female scientists.

Meanwhile other states take a βconcept and scientistβ approach, but they fail to mention the contributions of female scientists (e.g. notably, Marie Curie under the topic of radioactivity!) β’οΈ
If this approach is taken, curricula should also talk about female scientists and their contributions.

ACT and VIC take a βconceptβ approach, avoiding mentions of scientists where possible.
Since many laws/methods were named after men due to historical reasons, this approach does not tell the full story and implicitly promotes the βlone-male geniusβ narrative.

We studied high school STEM curricula to explore the representation of male & female scientists in these courses.
We also checked if a name was mentioned because it's about the *person* (scientist) or if it's a law/idea *named after* the person (concept).
The results vary dramatically!
