Revolution is unlikely to achieve sustained and effective change. By Cathy Foley [email protected] “The most important thing about a political party is ethos, or ues and principles-driven; is inclusive; and encouraged the culture. It’s far more important than ideology or rules. The way organisation to learn to ‘lean into the discomfort’ when we treat each other, the way we handle differences, the way we facing the hard issues.

But then I remind myself to think low pseudo science to have equal airspace; that our science again. Maybe there are impacts other than just numbers ... I have often wondered why I joined organisations and then ended up, in time, leading them – P&Cs, professional societies and a CSIRO division. I am not driven by the need for power or recognition. My early school days at St Anthony’s Primary School in Sydney’s suburban Marsfield had me raising money for the starving Ethiopians by making and selling toffees. This need for action combined with a strong dose of ‘Catholic guilt‘ – as my children call it – has meant that when I see something is not working or not right, I put my hand up to fix it. So what was my platform for election to lead the phys- ics and broader science community? It was not just a desire to right the wrongs of women in science. In both cases it was to shift the science sector towards greater impact and effectiveness. ‘Women in science’ is just a subsection of this. I saw a need for change.
