Gender Equity The expertise of the women on our Web site covers many of the subdisciplines within marine science. The women have backgrounds in chemistry, biology, physics, engineering, mathematics, geology, or geophysics. They are at different stages in their careers and are following different career paths including research, teaching, research assistants, administration, or a combination of these at universities, research institutions, government laboratories, and companies across the country. While many of these women have earned doctorates, others have gone directly into marine science from a bachelors degree, working, for example, as programmers, graphic illustrators, and data analysts. As the new millennium gets started we believe it is appropriate to step back and assess what women scientists across the country and across the world are accomplishing today, and how they are no longer considered ?unique? but instead are an accepted and integral part of the scientific community. |
