AAUW Presents Lisa Munoz on Women in Science Now

Local author and science writer Lisa M. P. Munoz will share insights from her award-winning book Women in Science Now.  The book examines solutions to the persistent gender gap in science, offering new perspectives on how to make STEM fields more equitable and inclusive for all. This book shares stories and insights of women from a range of backgrounds working in various disciplines, illustrating the journeys that brought them to the sciences, the challenges they faced along the way, and the important contributions they have made to their fields. Lisa M. P. Munoz combines these narratives with a wealth of data to illuminate the size and scope of the challenges women scientists face, while highlighting research-based solutions to help overcome these obstacles. The book is the Silver Medal winner in Social Change and Social Justice for the 2024 Nautilus Book Awards.

Books will be available for sales and signing.
