A continuing collaboration with the Science Book Club NOLA! Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Criado Perez From GoodReads: "Imagine a world where your phone is too big for your hand, where your doctor prescribes a drug that is wrong for your body, where in a car accident you are 47% more likely to be seriously injured, where every week the countless hours of work you do are not recognised or valued. If any of this sounds familiar, chances are that you're a woman. Invisible Women shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. It exposes the gender data gap – a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women’s lives." https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85665957794?pwd=M0N5cGFiYkVQMHU5RlNtcklRWk82UT09 Meeting ID:[masked] Passcode: 5tT6CE
