This talk for the Munich Center for Quantum Science and Technology explored the multiple ways in which sexism manifest itself in the fields of science & research - ranging from wage discrimination and under-representation of women in leadership positions, over gender bias to sexual harassment in its various forms. It drew particular attention to the gendered history of science while also looking at current data from the UNISafe study about gender-based violence

Unconscious Bias in Research & Science: How Bias holds us back

One of the guiding principles of scientific inquiry is objectivity. Objectivity is defined as the idea that scientific questions, methods and results should not be affected by the personal values, interests or perspectives of researchers. However, science is a human endeavour, and experimental design and analysis of information are products of human thought processes. As a result, biases may be inadvertently introduced into scientific
processes or conclusions. This talk explores the multiple points that invite bias during scientific research.
