Keeping Women in Science

Kate White

Keeping Women in Science examines the careers of women and men at a large Australian research institute and the challenges that women with or without children experience, often resulting from direct and indirect discrimination and being positioned as outsiders.

The research found a huge generational change between the Baby Boomers, the current science leaders, and Gen X and Gen Ys. Younger women and men reject the traditional model of a successful scientist, a single male for whom science is like a religious vocation. Instead, they seek new models for doing science that support dual careers, work flexibility and work-life balance.
