Today Sarah interviews Katie Grogan, an interdisciplinary biologist working as a post-doc at Pennsylvania State University. Last year, Katie wrote an article outlining the many ways gender bias appears in academia. She discusses her experiences as a woman in STEM, the many factors that prompted her to speak out on this issue, and suggests actions everyone can take to make academia more equitable.
