This has made me properly furious. So much work has been done to try to remove barriers and then this. It’s so stunningly ignorant. Imagine if society had said in the 50’s, “it just seems that girls don’t want to study hard medicine. It’s not a natural choice for them”
here is the clip - first it's cos girls don't like the maths, which is then "a natural thing" and then she's totally fine with physics a-level only being 16% girls.

Do you use social media to promote #physics? Are you thinking of creating physics content for social media? As part of the #IOPLimitLess campaign, we’ve put together a guide designed to help with inclusivity, accessibility, creating assets and more. Visit iop.org/SocialMediaGuide

With the news that the North East of England is facing increased #covid restrictions, we thought we’d share this as a helpful reminder. It seems more important (for all of us) now, more than ever. #wellbeing #teamclarity
