A lot of horror-stories and prejudices float around, of working all day &#8211; every day, having no time for family, or the need to have the one key\/breakthrough idea to even be able to form a career upon. We are interested in your experiences and ideas: what does it really take for a career in science?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\"><h2 id=\"at-7715\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">What does Gender have to do with Science?<\/h2><div id=\"ac-7715\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-medium\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"228\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/macrostruct23.de\/files\/2022\/11\/snipped-1-228x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/macrostruct23\/files\/2022\/11\/snipped-1-228x300.jpg 228w, https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/macrostruct23\/files\/2022\/11\/snipped-1.jpg 414w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 228px) 100vw, 228px\" \/><figcaption>Tomas Brage <br>(Lund University)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Science is often seen, by&nbsp;Scientists not the least, as objective and we believe we are surrounded by a \u201cculture without culture\u201d. At the same time our history, class and board rooms are dominated by men. This is a paradox that should awaken the curiosity of anyone. In this talk I will give some examples on how you can approach the question in the title. There have been several studies of Scientists and I will combine a discussion of these with some general theory and personal experiences, to paint a picture on how gender transgresses&nbsp;Science, like all other fields. By using the levels of change introduced by Schiebinger, I refer to studies of e.g. Anthropologists, Sociologists and Psychologists. The bias against women, since&nbsp;Science is stereotypically male, combined with the \u201cmyth of meritocracy\u201d could be key to understand the lack of women in the field. The talk is intended as a translation of results from recent progress in Gender Science to an audience of non-experts in the field, especially people within STEM-fields. The aim is to give some answers to the question in the title, but also to show that this is an extremely interesting and active field of research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3>Workshops for early career scientists<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-pb-accordion-item c-accordion__item js-accordion-item no-js\" data-initially-open=\"false\" data-click-to-close=\"true\" data-auto-close=\"true\" data-scroll=\"false\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" id=\"self-presentation\"><h2 id=\"at-7716\" class=\"c-accordion__title js-accordion-controller\" role=\"button\">How to be visible and proactive without being uncomfortable \u2013 Authentic Self-presentation &amp; Communication<\/h2><div id=\"ac-7716\" class=\"c-accordion__content\">\n<p>You enjoy the scientific parts of the conference but feel awkward during the coffee breaks?
