Advancing the STEM gap with NYSF CEO and Organon Medical Director: National Science Week
Joining Health Industry Hub for National Science Week are Dr Melanie Bagg, CEO of the National Youth Science Forum (NYSF), and Julie Mullan, Medical Director ANZ at Organon.
In this insightful discussion, we delve into critical matters surrounding the representation of women in STEM careers and the imperative steps needed to bridge the gender gap within the field. Dr Bagg, the first female CEO to lead NYSF in 40 years, and Ms Mullan bring their expertise and perspectives to shed light on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
We explore a range of pressing questions, from the contributing factors behind the persistent gender disparity in STEM professions, to the recent systemic review by the Federal Government’s Women for STEM Ambassador. Our guests share their thoughts on how the key findings of this review can pave the way for tangible change and increased representation of women in STEM.
Furthermore, we dive into the alarming gender pay gap that plagues STEM fields, with women still earning significantly less than their male counterparts. Dr Bagg and Ms Mullan provide insights into the measures that can be undertaken to address this disparity and create a more equitable compensation landscape.
A central focal point of the discussion lies in exploring how companies such as Organon are actively driving gender equity progress within the STEM industry and serving as catalysts for pivotal transformative shifts. Moreover, our guests elaborate on strategies to enhance engagement with policymakers and wider communities, advocating for pivotal changes that empower women in STEM fields.
