Harsh Medicine – Jul 6
Despite decades of progress, women continue to face systemic barriers to success in medicine and science. This is the considered view of Dr. Jennifer Grandis, Distinguished Professor at UC San Francisco. In her new book, Harsh Medicine: Why Women Can’t Get Ahead in Science and Health Care, Dr. Grandis draws on case studies, rigorous analysis, and decades of experience to reveal how gender bias is embedded in the structures of academic medicine and scientific research. How do science policies, funding systems, promotion practices, and cultural norms disadvantage women throughout their careers in science and medicine?
Wonderfest joins the Commonwealth Club to present Dr. Jennifer Rubin Grandis in conversation with journalist Katie Hafner, co-creator and host of the “Lost Women of Science” podcast.
