This was a good read. It's making me think about how to target other demographics (e.g. people with disabilities, in my case) for similar interventions.
How can we flip the decline in girls and gender-diverse students doing mathematics at higher levels?

To help with that, Monday morning will feature barista coffee: begin the week with a flat white! ☕
