On the journey from student to scientist, there are pivotal moments where women stop pursuing STEM careers—a phenomenon that researchers have dubbed “the leaky pipeline.” Stephanie Stack, chief biologist with the Pacific Whale Foundation, has first-hand experience balancing motherhood with a fulltime career in science. In this webinar, she explains the barriers that exist to women progressing in their STEM careers and how we can work together to improve this situation.
