Cassidy Sugimoto and Vincent Larivière, authors of Equity for Women in Science, discuss the responsibility of scientists to fight inequality and the need for diversifying the scientific workforce. They explore the relationship between topics, identity, and recognition in science, highlighting the inequity faced by women. The underrepresentation of women in senior authorship positions is also examined, along with the role of role models and the impact of factors like child rearing on women's productivity in academia.
