It's a bitter-sweet day as I finish @CSIRO and prepare for the next challenge. Thanks to my CSIRO family for a wonderful 36 yrs. It’s been fantastic to be your Chief Scientist, I’m going to miss it terribly. You are a team to be proud of, and that team has meant the world to me.

It was great to participate in the #GIS2020 recently on paving the way for a safer future with science. It was a valuable meeting of global minds, and I recommend watching the video stream, here: publish.viostream.com/play/bfxgwogdy…

“Jennifer” looks less competent than “John” is one of the 28 facts compiled by @HomewardBound16 about the barriers experienced by women in STEMM. Unfortunately, unconscious bias still exists. Read about the other 27 facts here: genderfacts.org #WomeninSTEMM
