[Ramm] [Gendered Innovations] PNAS on" Gender diversity leads to better science"; The Dutch Organisation for Health Research and Development symposium on gender in health

[Londa Schiebinger]

1. Gender diversity leads to better science. "Pick up any recent policy paper on women's participation in science and you will find assurances that gender diversity enhances knowledge outcomes. Universities and science-policy stakeholders, including the European Commission and the US National Institutes of Health, readily subscribe to this argument (1-3). But is there, in fact, a gender-diversity dividend in science?" by Mathias Nielsen et al. Read the article:
