Dear all

List members may be interested in the following event:

There aren't enough women in science and engineering, and the attrition rate is high. Why does this matter? And what are the reasons for the gaping gap and what can we do to address them? In this Fabian Women's Network event, the panel of speakers will dissect the factors and offer ideas of ways to tap the potential of individuals in an unequal world.
