G&D is proud to announce its new working paper ‘Successful Women,  
Successful Science’ focused on ‘what works’, and how to make successes  
happen more often, in more places…

In late 2007, G&D’s Successful Women, Successful Science conference  
was held at the Bellagio Study and Conference Center in Italy, thanks  
to support from The Rockefeller Foundation.

Recognizing that stories of success can be both inspirational and  
contagious, G&D prepared 11 case studies of successful programs and  
the women who lead them. Each presents a personal story of how women  
became involved in the issues of women in science and how they managed  
to achieve success.

Featured stories include:
·         Nancy Hopkins, Massachusetts Institute of Technology  
Committee on Women Faculty
·          Kaiser Jamil, Third World Organization for Women in Science
·          Tatiana Deane de Abreu Sa, Embrapa
·         Jennifer Campbell, LÓreal-UNESCO for Women in Science Program
·         Shirley Malcom and Yolanda George, American Association for  
the Advancement of Science
·         Thelma Paris, International Rice Research Institute
·         And more.

Successful Women, Successful Science examines myth versus reality of  
issues surrounding the global debate on women in science, and  
concludes with a practical list of recommendations for bringing out  
more success within our organizations.
