This week, I had a terrific conversation with Professor Vanessa Bohns (Cornell) as part of the Family Action Network speaker series. We talked about why both stories and data matter in communicating about inequities and representation in science, hurdles women continue to face in their career paths, potential solutions to those barriers, why public perceptions of science are important, and more. It was especially wonderful to talk with Dr. Bohns, as we worked together many years ago when I was public information officer for the Society for Personality an Social Psychology, helping her to place her first Op-ed in the New York Times.
