Item type:Publication, Gender bias in academia: A lifetime problem that needs solutions Open PDF(2021) ;Llorens, Anaïs ;Tzovara, Athina ;Bellier, Ludovic ;Bhaya-Grossman, IlinaBidet-Caulet, AurélieDespite increased awareness of the lack of gender equity in academia and a growing number of initiatives to address issues of diversity, change is slow, and inequalities remain. A major source of inequity is gender bias, which has a substantial negative impact on the careers, work-life balance, and mental health of underrepresented groups in science. Here, we argue that gender bias is not a single problem but manifests as a collection of distinct issues that impact researchers’ lives. We disentangle these facets and propose concrete solutions that can be adopted by individuals, academic institutions, and society.
