The great women of science are great, unfortunately the most notable ones can probably be counted on one hand. As with nearly all professions women are working towards gender equality and the sciences is no exception. Still women are vastly underrepresented in science academia. Emma Dauster studies females (well female mice), she makes gender a critical part of her work because most science is done by, for, and on men. Emma isn’t going to talk about her rats today, but she is going to talk about the current state of female and nonbinary representation in science.
