“Ten Things I Wish I Knew When I Started My Career in Science” |
Tuesday, October 14, 7:30pm, Thwing 1914 Lounge
In 2005, Dr. Gates, a professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Chicago, wrote an op-ed for the Chicago Tribune in response to Harvard President Lawrence Summer's suggestion that innate differences between men and women are the root cause of the gender gap in the sciences. In it, she pointed out the ridiculousness of that argument when there are clearly cultural reasons for some of the differences between men and women.
Dr. Gates’ talk will be followed by an informal question and answer session.
Dessert will be served. |
