Recommendation

Historically, women have been excluded from scientific discourse and have struggled to get the credit they deserve, and the resources they need, when working in STEM. Today, the gender gap in STEM remains significant. But women’s contributions are necessary if humanity is to find solutions to global challenges, from pandemics to climate change, says renowned University of Cambridge physicist Athene Donald. Learn how systemic factors and biases perpetuate the gender gap in STEM while gleaning insights into the concrete steps you can take to fight for equity.

Take-Aways

  • The world needs more women in STEM to help navigate today’s complex global problems.
  • Retire the lone male genius stereotype: Scientists should be collaborative, team players.
  • Many of the historic contributions of women scientists lack visibility.
