I also try to focus on writing down anything -- even if off topic or not fully formed -- just to get the confidence that comes from filling a page with words. When I do have inspiration, I jot down the ideas immediately, whether on my phone or in a small notebook. Most importantly, I try to block off specific times to write, when I know I don't have calls or errands or other things at the top of my "to do."(less)

Time and time again, I have about the unique struggles facing women in science. After being approached to write the book by an editor at Columbia University Press while I was doing publicity work for the Emmy-award-winning documentary film Picture a Scientist, my thoughts instantly feel to all those scientists I had met and interviewed over the years, as well as to my personal experiences and my past work with social scientists. In that moment, I knew I wanted to write a book that would bring a social science perspective to the thorny problem of discrimination in the sciences: How can science help fix science to make it equitable for everyone?(less)
