  • Explicitly Implicit: The Science of Implicit Bias
    In this episode of the Fog at Bay, we highlight the work of a group of PhD students at Stanford who, frustrated with the increasing gender bias in their program, took it upon themselves to share the science behind implicit bias with their classmates and peers. Their workshop covered topics ranging from the biased way we assess evidence of bias to the factors that contribute to the so-called "leaky pipeline" to both traditional and out-of-the-box interventions to reduce implicit bias.The Fog at Bay borrowed slides from this journal club's summary presentation to present during the UCSF Neuroscience Program retreat, and we interviewed attendees afterwards to get their impressions.The Fog at Bay is made possible by generous support from the UCSF Vice Chancellor and Provost's Office, and by the Associated Students of the Graduate Division. Our producers are Anna Lipkin, Tara Aitken, Alison Comrie, Rhogerry Deshycka, Lay Kodama, and Ben Mansky. Music in this episode is by Jon Schor and Blue Dot Sessions.Links mentioned in this episode and the transcript of this episode can be found at www.thefogatbay.com/resources

  • s2e5 - Patient, R.N.
    "As a future health care provider, and as an RN currently, I do bring a different perspective and skill set based on how I've learned to deal with my own disability. And I can use those skills and methods to explore new alternatives with patients. And that's a benefit that my disability brings to my classroom, my classmates, my faculty, my patients. And that doesn't often get talked about."In this episode of the Fog at Bay, two nursing students and a med student at UCSF talk about their experiences in the medical field as people with disabilities. Take a listen to Laurence, Sara, and Phoebe.
