S6E4 Living into the Vision with Christie Aschwanden

"Instead of fighting [sexism] and saying we don't want to do this, let's just stop doing it.  Let's just stop using gender as this meta context and the most important thing when writing about women in their fields."

This week on The Change Artist we're joined by Christie Aschwanden, science journalist, author, and advocate for the Finkbeiner Test - a checklist to help science journalists avoid gender bias in articles about women in science.  She shares her insight around how what we choose, or choose NOT, to say or write about plays a role in driving change.
