In this episode, we're celebrating Women and Girls in Science! Join us as we discuss how the exclusion of women from knowledge production hampers our ability to address global challenges like biodiversity loss effectively. We explore how one female mathematician exemplified the transformative insights women bring through her crochet-based solution to a problem that had stumped the world's leading minds for years. We also delve into the importance of valuing both social and natural sciences equally, explore the gender bias in academic disciplines, and speak with Anna Klevtcova, recipient of the WildCats Conservation Alliance's Professional Development Award. Anna shares insights on her interdisciplinary research, the challenges women face in academia, and the need for support in balancing research and family. Join us as we advocate for women in science.
