BONUS AFTER-HOURS EVENT: Attendees who purchase a copy of Women in Science Now from FAN’s partner
bookseller The Book Stall are invited to attend an AFTER-HOURS event hosted by Munoz that will start
immediately after the webinar. Details on the webinar registration page.

Women working in the sciences face obstacles at virtually every step along their career paths. From subtle
slights to blatant biases, deep systemic problems block women from advancing or push them out of science and
technology entirely. Science writer Lisa M.P. Munoz’s new book, Women in Science Now: Stories and
Strategies for Achieving Equity, examines solutions to this persistent gender gap, offering new perspectives on
how to make science more equitable and inclusive for all. The book shares stories and insights of women from a
range of backgrounds working in various disciplines, illustrating the journeys that brought them to the sciences,
the challenges they faced along the way, and the important contributions they have made to their fields. Ms.
Munoz combines these narratives with a wealth of data to illuminate the size and scope of the challenges
women scientists face, while highlighting research-based solutions to help overcome these obstacles. She
presents groundbreaking studies in social psychology and organizational behavior that are informing novel
approaches for combating historic and ongoing inequities.

Ms. Munoz is the founder and president of SciComm Services, a science communications consulting firm. She
develops, leads, and executes communication strategies for science groups, including VC funds, sci-tech
startups, scientific societies and academic research groups, international organizations, and other institutions.

Ms. Munoz will be in conversation with Vanessa Bohns, Ph.D., a social psychologist, professor, and chair of
organizational behavior at the New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations at Cornell University (the
ILR School), and author of the 2021 book You Have More Influence Than You Think: How We Underestimate
Our Power of Persuasion, and Why It Matters.

This event suitable for youth 12+. It will be recorded and available on FAN’s website and YouTube channel.
