In the first episode of the new podcast UMCG Research Talk, we discuss the gender gap in science with Marian Joëls, prof. of Neuroscience and dean of Medical Sciences, who actively strives for the position of women in science and Marco Versluis gynaecologist, researcher and teacher, who is dedicated to equity in healthcare.

*Disclaimer: Diversity in the research landscape entails more than just the balance between male and female scientists, but in this episode we focussed mainly on gender differences.
Diversity in the research landscape is important and can still be much improved. For years there has been a gender gap in science. And even though number of female professors has been rising over the past few years, female scientists are still underrepresented at higher positions and in leadership roles. Why is that? And how can we reduce this gap?
