Episode 4: Sexual Bias Playscript

What happens when we exclude half of the population? In celebration of International Women’s Day (March 8th), we are joined by Paige Goodwin, a feminist playwright and lecturer at UCR, and Nora Wolcott, a PhD candidate in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology at UC Santa Barbara, to discuss the history of sexism in both theater and neuroscience and its influences our perceptions of success and validity in these fields today. We’ll also learn how Nora and Paige each work to confront these biases.

Intro and outro music was "Traveling in your mind" by Loyalty Freak Music. You can find more of their work at https://loyaltyfreakmusic.com/
