DTI Report: Recommendations to increase the number of women scientists
The report looks into the issues surrounding three particular
career stages:
- starting out in a career in science, engineering or technology;
- mid-career development; and
- breaking through the glass-ceiling to the top jobs.
Baroness Susan Greenfield is currently a Senior Research fellow at
Lincoln College, and an Honorary Fellow at St Hilda's College,
Oxford. In 1998 she was appointed Director of the Royal Institution
of Great Britain, a post she holds jointly with her chair in Oxford.
To date she has published some 150 peer-reviewed papers. In 1994 she
was the first woman to give the Royal Institution Christmas lectures
and has subsequently made a wide range of broadcasts on TV and radio.
She was voted 'Woman of the Year' by the Observer in December 2000.
In 1998, she received the Michael Faraday medal from the Royal
Society for making the most significant contribution to the public
understanding of science. In 2000 she was elected to an Honorary
Fellowship of the Royal College of Physicians.
