Hi all, I'm a science journalism student at City University, London. Our class is going to make a podcast about sexism in science. My story is about Gaia Vince, a science writer who is the first woman to win the Royal Society's Winton Prize for her book <http://wanderinggaia.com/contact/>. And my story is also based on the Guardian article linked here <http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/sep/25/science-book-prizes-women-sexism#> . Could I reach any of you by phone, say in another 20-30 min, from our studio? I'm sorry for this short notice. I tried reaching different sources. None were available. My questions would be basically: 1. Why only few women win science book prizes? 2. What to do about this? 3. Any other comments regarding this! Thanks in advance. Eager to hear from you.
