Outreach Talk: Victoria Chebotaeva
Title: Women in STEM. Why so few?
Abstract: The lack of women and nonbinary people in STEM fields is still a significant issue. Despite some progress, the numbers remain far too low. In this talk, we’ll explore why that is, looking at factors like stereotypes, discouragement, and the everyday sexism that affects people in STEM. We’ll discuss how these challenges affect the way women and nonbinary people experience education and careers in these fields. Also, we’ll talk about what we can do to change things and why progress is slow even though we know the problem exists.
