NGCP January Webcast
Why Don't They Hear What I Say?
Wednesday, January 9, 2008
11:00-12:00 PST
Have you ever felt as though you're shouting and no one hears; that your good work on gender and science is ignored by policy makers, teachers, and parents who all too often fall back on myths and stereotypes about gender?

If your answer is yes, then join Pat Campbell and the FairerScience team to learn more about why you aren’t being heard and what you can do to help people separate myth from reality. We will cover issues of language, of media reporting and just what the facts actually are. In addition, we will explore the women in science blogging community and ways blogs can be used to introduce girls to the real lives of real scientists. .
