About this episode
Women now enter medicine and many other scientific fields in numbers equal to men, yet they remain underrepresented in leadership and often face unequal pay, limited mentorship and fewer research opportunities. UCSF physician-scientist Jennifer Grandis says that’s harmful not just to women but to science and patient care. We learn why and what can be done.
Guests:
Jennifer Grandis, physician-scientist at the University of California, San Francisco and author of "Harsh Medicine: Why Women Can't Get Ahead in Science and Health Care"
