DESCRIPTION:Abstract\n\nProteins have to fold to the correct structure if 
 they are to function and avoid misfolding Most eukaryotic proteins contain
  more than one independently folding domain.  Since the local concentratio
 n of domains is high\, how do natural proteins avoid misfolding? \n \nAt l
 east half of the students studying natural sciences in the early years at 
 university are women\, and yet few make it to the top.  What can we do to 
 avoid such a waste of talent? What can we do to ensure that women can enjo
 y what is the most satisfying of careers?\n\nIn my talk I will show that N
 ature\, through evolution\, has developed strategies that ensure that misf
 olding is rare.  Similarly\, I will show that we can develop both personal
  and institutional strategies to help women reach the top.
