Abstract:
What happens when women scientists are excluded from designing and conducting research? This paper discusses the importance of recruiting and retaining women as scientists. It explores the impact on science of discrimination, harassment, and retaliation against women scientists. The paper presents case examples suggesting that when women scientists' careers are stymied, research that could be beneficial to women may be devalued, delayed, or derailed.
