7 facts illustrating the discrimination against women in science

The Artdog Image of Interest

Very few women in the world today have any question that gender-based discrimination exists. Everything from loud, in-your-face sexism or violent physical aggression to the softer forms of diminished expectations and subtle direction away from riskier, higher-profile, leadership, or more lucrative options.

We've all seen at least some of it, but we don't often see it diagrammed out. The focus here is science, but no field is immune. Imagine the expanded potential if women could achieve parity!

Reflections on the glass ceiling

The Artdog Quotes of the Week 



I chose a pair of quotes for this week, both addressing, in a different way, the endurance of the glass ceiling in American public life. I am particularly feeling the Maureen Reagan quote in this season of political madness.
