OPN - Reflections in Diversity January 2012: On the Power of Small Initiatives

Malgosia Kaczmarek, Prof of Physics, Chair of Women in Science and Engineering Committee, University of Southhampton, UK

In this column piece Professor Kaczmarek writes about retaining women in science, and all scientists, in the current economic climate and about initiatives at Southampton University:

In her words "Quite often the real difference comes from small steps. By introducing incremental changes in their policies and the support they offer to those with caring responsibilities, universities, learned societies and organizations can truly make a real difference. In addition to helping individuals, such schemes work as models that can be implemented elsewhere. Importantly, those programs do not necessarily involve large sums of money.....

It is critical to focus on supporting women who already have scientific careers. This is an area where local, university-based actions can make a real difference on the front lines of academia."
