The Speaker Gender Gap at Critical Care Conferences

Ten Strategies to Reduce Gender Inequality at Scientific Conferences

Conferences organized by professional societies provide scientists and professionals with an excellent opportunity to disseminate their work, network with like-minded researchers, and form collaborative relationships for future endeavors. However, these opportunities are rarely distributed equally between women and men in science. Addressing gender inequity should be a primary consideration for...

Is there gender bias in critical care?

. . . gender bias need not be intentional to be detrimental; to the contrary, the more insidious its existence, the more readily gender bias can invade, fester, and infect patient care in subtle and undetected ways. When patients enter the health care system, particularly when they are experiencing a life-threatening health problem, we implicitly assume that the care they receive is dictated by...

The gender gap reloaded

This study examines the wage gender gap of young adults in the 1970s, 1980s, and 2000 in the US. Using quantile regression we estimate the gender gap across the entire wage distribution. We also study the importance of high school characteristics in predicting future labor market performance. We conduct analyses for three major racial/ethnic groups in the US: Whites, Blacks, and Hispanics, empl...

Critical Exponent for Gap Filling at Crisis.

A crisis in chaotic dynamical systems is characterized by the conversion of a nonattracting, Cantorset-like chaotic saddle into a chaotic attractor. The gaps in between various pieces of the chaotic saddle are densely filled after the crisis. We give a quantitative scaling theory for the growth of the topological entropy for a major class of crises, the interior crisis. The theory is confirmed ...
