Excerpt: “Medicine, like many fields in science, is male dominated, and this will not change overnight… I think that we must continue to encourage young girls’ interest in science so that they become women scientists. This is a problem of limited exposure, lack of mentors for young girls of color, lack of visible role models, and as previously mentioned, lack of encouragement. By growing our numbers, I do think the number of cases of harassment, inappropriate remarks, and assault will decline.”
