This Research Topic is part of the Women in Science 2023 series. Other titles in the series are:
Women in Science - Gastroenterology 2023 Women in Science - Regulatory Science 2023 Women in Science - Rheumatology 2023Building on the success of
Women in Science - Hematology 2021, we are pleased to launch a new Volume for 2023 of this Research Topic.
The proportion of women and men in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) at undergraduate levels is relatively equal, however, there is a lack of representation of women in senior positions in Public Health. According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) data in 2016, less than 30% of researchers in STEM are women.
In the field of Hematology, there are many highly influential and successful women who are contributing to the field and tackling important questions. Yet, female scientists are still underrepresented in various aspects of academic life. Several initiatives have been recently created to increase the visibility of women in science (e.g., awards for women in STEM). However, evidence indicates that a gender bias is still present throughout many scientific disciplines.
This Research Topic would like to highlight female contributions to Medicine, specifically in the field of Hematology and will therefore welcome:
• General perspectives on a specific field of research inspired, started or sparked by a woman
• Articles celebrating outstanding female researchers and their contributions to computer science and public health
• Public Health studies led by women researching technology and health
To be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be researchers identifying as female, and we recommend early career researchers to team up with senior female colleagues.
