SUMMARY:Intro to knowledge synthesis for knowledge users – Online course
DESCRIPTION:Participate in this 3-month online course\, starting in January. \nThis course will teach students about knowledge synthesis in general\, as well as how to conduct knowledge\nsynthesis projects. Students will begin to conduct knowledge synthesis in the topic of their choice\, with guidance\nfrom the course directors. \nAt the end of this course\, students will be able to: \n\nDifferentiate between different types of knowledge synthesis\, such as systematic reviews and qualitative\nevidence reviews\nDistinguish between different types of evidence that can be summarized in knowledge synthesis\nDevelop a knowledge synthesis question\nEstablish the eligibility criteria for knowledge synthesis\nCreate a knowledge synthesis protocol\n\nParticipants will develop a protocol that is ready for registration that has been reviewed by the course directors. \nInterested in joining? Email Meghan.Storey@UnityHealth.to or apply now! \nFind more details here: https://bit.ly/42AoohE

SUMMARY:International Day of Women and Girls in Science
DESCRIPTION:Science and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals\, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Over the past 15 years\, the global community has made a lot of effort in inspiring and engaging women and girls in science. Yet women and girls continue to be excluded from participating fully in science. \nAt present\, less than 30 per cent of researchers worldwide are women. According to UNESCO data (2014 – 2016)\, only around 30 per cent of all female students select STEM-related fields in higher education. Globally\, female students’ enrolment is particularly low in ICT (3 per cent)\, natural science\, mathematics and statistics (5 per cent) and in engineering\, manufacturing and construction (8 per cent). \nLong-standing biases and gender stereotypes are steering girls and women away from science related fields. As in the real world\, the world on screen reflects similar biases—the 2015 Gender Bias Without Borders study by the Geena Davis Institute showed that of the onscreen characters with an identifiable STEM job\, only 12 per cent were women. \nIn order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls\, and further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls\, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/70/212 declaring 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
