News from the PWN Pipeline:
"If more directors took such steps, gender equity would be closer to reality."
Science writer Cynthia Fox covers a series of 'Women in Science' initiatives that have been put in place by director Dr. Douglas Hilton of the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute of Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia to eliminate gender bias among researchers at the Institute. Some of his policies included appointing additional female department heads and senior professors, providing grants for female laboratory directors, offering technical help and potential job sharing for post doctoral mothers, establishing private breastfeeding rooms, and putting more women on committees to select speakers and award promotions. The article is an interesting read, and offers a contrast between efforts and policies enforced in Australia to combat gender inequity and those in the United States.
