SUMMARY:How to keep women (and men) in science - Petra Rudolf\, Zernike In

DESCRIPTION:The EU report on Women in Science identifies different risks w
 hich can result in the drop out of women from academic life at different c
 areer stages: at the beginning (PhD phase) it is mainly the lack of suppor
 t from the supervisor\, in the postdoc phase the problem of reconciling ca
 reer and motherhood is most acute\, then the risk shifts to lack of career
  expectations and even at the associate/full professor level there remains
  a risk due to isolation and exclusion. I shall discuss these issues based
  on studies from Europe\, the U.S.A. and Japan. Based on the trends which 
 emerge from these studies\, I shall also suggest some measures to be taken
  to ensure that women stay in science. From this it will be obvious that a
 ll measures which favour women in science are good for men as well.
