They talked about discouragement, both subtle and overt, that women in science and engineering fields have experienced historically and still experience. The panelists and the audience had plenty of personal stories to tell in that regard. They also talked about what is needed to change that at both ends of the pipeline -- from childhood to mid-career women scientists and engineers. A blog post is coming.
