28th Feb 2013: Evidence for gender bias in science?

We hear anecdotes about sexism in employment but what’s the evidence for bias against women in science?

Come and hear senior academics and researchers into equality and diversity explain recent research. There’ll be time for a panel discussion and questions from the audience. Men as well as women are welcome. Lunch and coffee provided!
