About this Research Topic
At present, fewer than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women from pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) research. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. Although underrepresented, and often unacknowledged, female researchers have been crucial to scientific advances. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers.
Therefore, Cognitive Neuroscience is proud to shed a light on great female researchers and provide them with a platform to showcase their work and role in open science. This editorial initiative of particular relevance, led by Dr. Buss, Assistant Professor. Gilman, Dr. Tsuboyama, and Professor. Viggiano highlights advances in neuroscience research to further aid our empirical understanding of the mental processes involved in cognition.
This Research Topic is part of the Women in Human Neuroscience series. Other titles in this series are:
• Women In Brain Imaging and Stimulation
• Women In Speech and Language
• Women in Motor Neuroscience
Please submit your article to the Research Topic that best suits the focus of your research.
