While looking at Global health fact on TB , we realized that gender might be an epidemiological factor in the spread of the disease. It was really shocking to find out that gender had an effect on this. Therefore it made us reflect on the gender problem in OUR community.
Therefore we can ask ourselves "Is the field of synthetic biology gender biased ?"
Syn bio is interesting because :
It is new : It is indeed often said that the gender bias we observe are due to old habits and it is only a question of time till we reach equality. Here this could not be an argument
Comes from a mix of disciplines …
We have a model to quantify data : iGEM.
Therefore we can answer quantitatively to major issues in the field of gender studies or main stereotypes that exist such as “Are women more prone to choose a subject ?” “Is diversity related to success ?"...
Synbio field : general overview of gender equality in synthetic biology
''' SB Conferences :'''
We used available online programms of SB conferences to count the sex ratio of speakers and posters authors. [[File:SB.jpg]]
Around 25 % of women in poster authors. Speaker, huge change. might be due to an effort from SB to raise the number of women speakers
'''Under represented and badly represented'''
