Abstract
There has been growing interest in quantifying the proportion of women participating in scientific conferences, publications, and committees. Numbers reveal persistent disparities, but offer few cures to the root causes of the gender gaps in research. Toward remediation, we outline five lessons learned through organizing two conferences for Women in Neuroscience (WiN). These recommendations build on participants’ comments, and aim to better support women in their scientific paths and help provide equal opportunity. © 2021 Elsevier Ltd
