DESCRIPTION:LGBT people in science\, technology\, engineering and maths (S
 TEM) face some unique challenges compared to other minorities in the workp
 lace\, both due to their lack of visibility as a social group and the prev
 ailing climate within STEM. Although there are a number of support network
 s within the UK\, LGBT people in STEM still have to overcome issues\, rang
 ing from homophobic and transphobic attitudes of other members of staff to
  worries about the security of their employment. In this talk\, I will giv
 e an overview of the academic climate experienced by LGBT people in the wo
 rkplace\, specifically in STEM as well as suggesting some possible strateg
 ies to address the under-representation of LGBT people in STEM.
