R-Ladies Toolbox Series - Essentials for women and minority genders in academia, science and data analysis presents:
Panel discussion on women in science

To finish this series about women in science we will discuss about the inequities and problems that women and gender minorities find in academia. We will talk about systemic issues, non-visible barriers and work, family and care. What problems do we face? Are politics to increase gender equality effective? Is there data to support these measurements and decisions? We count with a grate panel of women and we invite you too to share your own perspectives!
