Editorial Reviews

Interviews with women at all stages in their careers show a picture of science as a field in upheaval as more women enter traditionally male-dominated jobs and find research priorities that are out of sync with their expectations, colleagues competing ruthlessly for dwindling grants and promotions, and sexism thriving in the workplace. The author and subjects present solutions to problems faced by scientists, including ways to redesign the scientific culture and workplace to foster success for women, men, and the scientific enterprise. Of particular interest to science students, science teachers and health science educators, legislators, business people and university administrators. Annotation c.
