Women in Research Ireland are delighted to share with you the details of our next seminar - 'How Science Got Women Wrong with Angela Saini'.  
Shedding light on controversial research and investigating the ferocious gender wars in biology, psychology and anthropology, Angela will talk about how the story of women is being rewritten. She'll explore what this means for us as a society, revealing an alternative view of science in which women are included, rather than excluded.

She regularly presents science programmes on BBC Radio, and her writing has appeared in New Scientist, the Guardian, The Times, and Wired.
