2015 PEP Fellow, Nilanjana Dasgupta is interviewed about research on how to overcome the gender gap in science, technology engineering and mathematics jobs

PEP Fellow Nilanjana Dasgupta, psychological and brain sciences, is interviewed in Morning Edition on June 15, 2016 about research on how to overcome the gender gap in science, technology engineering and mathematics jobs. She suggests that women in these fields should work together in teams rather than have their numbers diluted in overwhelmingly male teams. Having female colleagues helps boost confidence and self-esteem, Dasgupta says.
