This week’s BWN Friday Post is from Stories of Women in Neuroscience. Dr. Susanne Ahmari shares her story on bridging research with clinical practice and taking “leaps of faith”.
10th IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL 2020)
10th IEEE International Conference on Development and Learning (ICDL 2020)
Organizers: Nicolás Navarro-Guerrero & María-José Escobar (Program Chairs)
Speaker gender ratio: 2 Women: 4 Men (33%)
Estimated base rate of women in the field: 45%*
*Method of estimation: We searched NIH RePORTER with keywords cognitive AND developmental AND learning, and then counted the ratio of women among the unique researchers in all 76 pages of results using our python script. We left 99 names unclassified.
