Is Collaboration in Science split along Gender Lines? Network Analysis in R
Details
Hi all,
We are excited to announce our next meetup in April presented by Emma Vitz and hosted by Te Pūnaha Matatini.
http://www.tepunahamatatini.ac.nz
Doors open at 6pm for 6:30 start.
Abstract:
When it comes to collaboration in science, who works with whom? The Marsden fund is one of the largest research grants in New Zealand and has been funding research for over 20 years. It provides a glimpse into the networks that produce some of our most groundbreaking scientific research. This talk will look at whether these networks are split along gender lines, and whether this has changed over time.
