Math Biology Seminar: Catherine Byrne
Topic
The Under-Representation of Women in Computational Biology
Speakers
Details
Gender equality is a major issue within science communities. While efforts to be proactive and bring awareness to gender inequality have been made in recent years, still only 1/8th of academic scientists are women. A recent paper published in PLOS Computational Biology (Hashe et al. 2017) highlights the under-representation of women in biology, computational biology, and computer science. Here, I will present their findings and lead a general discussion on women in science and ways we may help to close the gender gap.
