Why women drop out of science careers

It’s always been a big problem—here’s what we can do about it

Every female scientist has considered leaving academia at least once. My moment came when I was about to have my first child. Along with the wonders of being a new expectant parent, I also had professional concerns. How was I going to justify a gap in my publications? How was I going to do fieldwork while pregnant? (Because I am a marine biologist some of my projects involve diving.) It didn’t help that I had been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum—severe nausea and vomiting—that confined me to bed for nine weeks. On my third week I was asked to leave the project I was getting my salary from because of my bosses concern about my ability to keep deadlines.

Ceremonia de los Premios Ig Nobel

Charla 24/7

Los Premios Ig Nobel se otorgan a aquellas investigaciones científicas que primero te hacen reír y luego pensar. Los ganadores asisten a una ceremonia en el Sanders Theatre de la Universidad de Harvard y posteriormente dan una charla pública en el Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Cada año los organizadores de la gala invitan a algunos de los mejores pensadores del mundo para compartir con el público sus pensamientos e investigaciones. Las charlas 24/7 explican el mismo tema dos veces:

  • Primero, una descripción técnica completa en 24 segundos.

  • Luego, un claro resumen que todo el mundo puede entender en 7 palabras.
