Despite progress in recent decades, women remain under-represented in many areas of science. Why is this, and what can be\u00a0done about it? How do the challenges faced by women in science today differ from those faced by previous generations? Does the\u00a0neuroscience of sex differences show that science requires a \u2018male brain\u2019, or does it debunk that idea? And how might the structure\u00a0and culture of science be improved to help the next generation of female scientists? Historian of science\u00a0Patricia Fara, philosopher\u00a0of science\u00a0Cailin O\u2019Connor,\u00a0and neuroscientist\u00a0Melissa Hines\u00a0will discuss the past, present, and future challenges faced by women\u00a0in science.<\/span><\/p>\n
