'When asked why so many women drop out of science, most men said family and sociocultural factors. Women agreed but a significant proportion [also] pointed out the lack of opportunities and disabling organisational factors...' - Aashima Nandita Jayaraj indianexpress.com/article/opinio…

Marking this year's #InternationalWomenAndGirlsInScienceDay in India with an excerpt from our TheLifeofScience.com book!

TheLifeofScience.com IAP WISTEMM DBT-NIPGR The Indian Express IASc, Bengaluru Indian National Science Academy (INSA) Nandita Jayaraj Aashima Nice article. Somehow Sexual Harassment as an issue in women's retention in STEM fails to get a mention. This problem is getting acknowledged worldwide but much less in India.

Looking forward to this discussion to mark the relaunch of Episteme

With two major festivals coming up within a month of the start of the new year - #ISF and #JaipurLitFest - we would like to bring up a discussion for our audience here.

'Envisioning a culture where all are welcome is indeed an act of necessary resistance and epic positivity. What is a better place to work towards such a vision than a diverse place like India?' Aashima writes

A diverse scientific community comes with the promise of changing the research culture to a more open, democratic, and useful one. I write on The India Forum theindiaforum.in/gender/towards…

We were at the Bangalore Lit Fest last weekend and our books were sold out at the store! An excerpt from our panel 📢 Aashima Nandita Jayaraj

Why Are There So Few Women Scientists In India?

On Sunday at 3.15pm during #BlrLitFest you can find Aashima and Nandita Jayaraj eagerly waiting to meet some readers and make new friends. Go, go, go! #LabHopping

Finally joining love and coauthor Nandita Jayaraj on TheLifeofScience.com book tour ! See you at Bangalore Lit Fest

Saying, 'I loved it' does a grave injustice to the book, because imo, this book is not meant to be simply loved but to be read, percolate on it and attempt change whatever and wherever one can.

Thank you for this gem - Nandita Jayaraj and Aashima
