DESCRIPTION:Not Just For The Boys: Why We Need More Women In Science\n\nEa
 rly years stereotyping leads to a shortage of women entering the STEM aren
 a (particularly the physical sciences\, engineering and computing) and boy
 s being deterred from subjects like languages and psychology. This can be 
 good for neither the individual nor wider society. Diversity in approach d
 ue to life experiences impacts on business decisions (and hence profits)\,
  research emphasis and innovation. I will talk about the origins of the is
 sues\, the slow change of pace and why this matters for our society and ec
 onomic growth.
