Motherhood in Academia - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
It's well known that women are under-represented in careers in science.
The academic career path has a long apprenticeship. Typically there is an undergraduate degree, followed by a PhD, then some post-doctoral research contracts and research fellowships, and then finally a more stable lectureship or permanent research leader position, with promotion on up the ladder to follow.
Women publish less, achieve higher positions less frequently, and have more interrupted careers. Mothers, more than fathers or childless men and women, suffer these disadvantages. Women academics have to deal with the work-family conflict, the participation in both work and family roles are incompatibly demanding.
During this episode of "Science With Milk, No Sugar" my guest Florencia and I discuss what challenges mothers in academia are facing and how institutions can support them.
Dr. Florencia Yannelli Lucero is an Argentinean postdoctoral researcher based at Freie Universität Berlin. She works on what makes alien plants successful and how can we 'fight' them during ecological restoration. Florencia is committed to making academia a more diverse environment, particularly by increasing women's representation. As a mom of one, with another one on the way, she has been working towards increasing visibility on the struggles and inequities that academic moms face every day.
