Ways to conquer gender assumptions

摘要

Raise awareness of gender bias as a first step to overcoming it. Call for transparency in salaries, hiring, leadership and editorial decisions. Organize a discussion of implicit bias in science, and what can be done locally to address it. At Stanford University, we have a Gender Issues in Neuroscience discussion group that brainstorms ways to overcome challenges such as competition, response to failure, networking and speech and body language. We include men in these discussions because they are also affected by gender stereotypes and are an essential part of the solution.
