| Traditionally girls have not been encouraged to pursue science as a regular part of their personal and intellectual development. As a result the contribution women make to science is not nearly as great as it could or should be for the welfare of science and of society. Women in Science encourages the participation of girls and women in science by making them aware of role models and examining efforts of these models in the advancement of science. It emphasizes mentoring, decreasing isolation and stereotyping, and creating supportive environments. Special efforts are made to promote pathways to success in academic and professional settings for women at the college level and beyond. |
