On Thursday, March 14 at 18:30, Laia Llucià and Carol, Predoctoral Researcher of the Pharmacogenomic and Neurovascular Genetics Group at IR Sant Pau, will give a talk at the Sagrada Família Library entitled “Women, Science and Health”.
Did you know that the presence of women at the beginning of the research career is 47.3%, while in the highest positions it is reduced to 25.6%? Do you know more scientific references apart from Marie Curie? Have you ever considered whether, when studying and visualising diseases, it is done with enough gender perspective? We talk about gender bias in science and health.
In this talk, it will be exposed some of the causes and consequences that from a very young age mark the gender bias that exists in science, both in terms of positions of greater power and in the study and visualization in the media of certain diseases.
