The Women in Science meeting is an informal round table discussion with invited female CDBS- seminar speakers who will talk about their careers and share their experience as women in science. The motivation behind this initiative is to provide role models for female researchers. The current low representation of women in the higher ranks of academia is a great concern in the UK and in European science in general.Studies have shown that although men and women are equally represented at the PhD-student level, women leave science in disproportionate higher numbers at the postdoc level and even more so at the group-leader level.The reasons for the drop out are complex, ranging from imposed to self-imposed discrimination. These studies pointed out the importance of role models and mentoring schemes.Women in Science - Resources and linksFor any question or suggestion regarding these meetings please contact: Nathalie Rochefort (n.rochefort@ed.ac.uk) or Lida Zoupi (lida.zoupi@ed.ac.uk ) Prof Shubha Tole, Professor in Department of Biological Sciences ,Tata Institute of Fundamental Research Friday 25th April 2025, 2:30 - 3:30pm Venue: Hugh Robson Link Building, room: G31Prof Shubha Tole 's research profile Prof Laura Bennet, University of Auckland, NZ Thursday 21st November 2024, 10:00am - 11:00am.
