The exclusion effect : how the sciences discourage girls & women & what to do about it / by Duncan, Kirsty,author.;: Includes bibliographical references."As a newly minted PhD in medical geography, Kirsty Duncan led an international expedition to remote Svalbard, Norway to search for the cause of the deadly 1918 influenza. What should have been a rewarding intellectual adventure turned out to be an unwanted baptism into the unbridled sexism and privilege of the scientific community. Ever since, she has devoted herself to the support of girls and women in scientific endeavours. While women have come a long way in science, there is still far to go. They remain under-represented, under-paid, under-published, and under the shadows of male scientists who are assumed, without evidence, to have innate capacities that women lack. Duncan identifies systemic biases in the assessment of girls' abilities and the teaching of science in the home, the classroom, our communities, and professional life. She makes a powerful argument for cultural and institutional change to ensure girls and women their rightful place in the scientific community. For readers of Melinda Gates's The Moment of Lift, Caroline Criado Perez's Invisible Women, and Margot Lee Shetterly's Hidden Figures."--; Subjects: Sex discrimination against women.; Sex discrimination in science.; Women in science.;; Available copies: 1 / Total copies: 1; unAPI

Maggie Richter's return to LA and her old job at the Rocque Museum was supposed to be about restarting her career, reconnecting with old friends, and maybe starting to date again. The last thing she expected was to find herself at the center of another art world mystery concerning the death of Brenae Brazil. Are there hidden clues in Brazil's other works of video art? Maggie will get pulled into the cryptic video art of Brazil that will send her down the rabbit hole of art schools, power struggles over students and mentors, and the still shady and often violent art world in Los Angeles."--; Subjects: Thrillers (Fiction); Psychological fiction.; Art museums; Artists; Murder; Women artists; Women detectives;; Available copies: 0 / Total copies: 1; unAPI
