Description

Scientists of all backgrounds and genders,have made important contributions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but the participation of women remains low in many areas of STEM, including physics. What can we do to build an inclusive STEM community? I'll discuss recent studies and data that shed light on where we stand today and what we can do to improve.
