Abstract:
This workshop will be led Prof. Marlene Zuk and will focus on reasons for why women representation in careers in science is so poor, issues faced by women pursuing careers in science, and also what we can all do as individuals, professionals and as institutions to address these issues. The workshop will consist of a presentation by Marlene, small-group and larger group discussions, and examining several common real-life situations and discussing how these can be successfully handled.
