Women in Sensory Neuroscience


Book Description

At present, less 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, the Sensory Neuroscience section 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. Monica Gori, together with Dr. Elena Nava, Dr. Alessia Tonelli, and Dr. Maria Bianca Amadeo highlights advances in the field of sensory neuroscience to further aid our empirical and theoretical understanding of human sensation and perception.
