Abstract: The answer to systematic gender equity across the science disciplines lies in a holistic approach. Mapping the representation at all levels of advancement, tracking retention, and modelling the potential solutions have been shown to drive science organisations to better representation. Sustaining diversity, accelerating women’s careers, requires overcoming the psychological resistance to change and prioritising creation of inclusive academic and work environments.
