Professor Jonathan Eisen discusses gender balance in science in an interview with PeerJ
In a recent interview for the PeerJ blog, Professor Jonathan Eisen talks to Georgina Gurnhill to provide a male perspective on the challenges faced by women in science today. This is a topic that Jonathan has written about extensively, on his Tree of Life blog, and elsewhere. From the interview:
Explicit and implicit biases against women occur everywhere in society. Â And science and science publishing is no exception. Biases can occur in awards, in peer review, in grant review, in citation, in journal selection, in determination of author lists, and many more areas. Â Thus we need to be vigilant to prevent such biases from occurring and to limit their impact if they do occur.Click the following link to read the full interview:
