International Women’s Day 2017 – Celebrating women in STEM
Introduction
As part of our focus on gender parity in STEM for International Women’s Day 2017 #BeBoldForChange, we have collated some of the top content across our various scientific sites including key research, interviews, and ‘Day in the Life’ features.
We are also running a #MCNTalks Twitter chat on women in STEM via @MedChemNet in conjunction with Charles River Labs at 3pm (GMT) or 10am (EST) today (8th March, 2017); add to your calendar now!
Have a question you’d like answered on women in STEM? Post your question(s) here.
What’s more, make sure you take a look back on International Women’s Day 2016 when we presented the results of a survey devised to shed light on how the STEM community views gender parity and what factors could be responsible for female under-representation.
