Women now enter medicine and many other scientific fields in numbers equal to men, yet they remain underrepresented in leadership and often face unequal pay, limited mentorship and fewer research opportunities. UCSF distinguished professor Jennifer Grandis says that’s harmful not just to women but to science and patient care. We learn why and what can be done. Grandis’s new book is “Harsh Medicine.”

Guests:

Jennifer Grandis, physician-scientist and distinguished professor, University of California, San Francisco; author, “Harsh Medicine: Why Women Can’t Get Ahead in Science and Health Care”
