Younger women in science often face gendered barriers including feeling forced to choose between their future career and having a family, something that is typically a non-issue for young men in science.
The talk by dr. Amy Diehl - Shattering gender barriers for young women in science - will overview the six primary barriers which comprise gender bias against women at work. Then we will dive into challenges young women face at the start of their scientific careers, like postdoc time, mobility and CV buildup vs. family obligations - a rocky path to permanent position and financial security.
We will further discuss solutions that leaders, mentors, and colleagues can use to ease the barriers, enabling career success for female scientists, allowing them to reach decision-making positions.
Visible members of our community will join the panel discussion, share their experiences and views:
