The Power of Unmuting Women's Voices

Moderated by Sarah Scott, HBSc. and led by Mari Swingle, PhD, we will discuss past and ever-present challenges of being a woman in the sciences and healing. This forum provides an open, informal and confidential dialogue, intended as support and community service, and will not be recorded.

The theme of July's discussion is, "The Power of Unmuting Women's Voices." Science is built on the pursuit of truth, but truth is often hidden behind the questions we forget to ask. When women's voices are sidelined—whether in peer reviews, faculty meetings, or keynote stages—science loses its edge. We don't just bring "diversity;" we bring the missing data points, the alternate hypotheses, and the lived experiences that drive innovation. This forum is your platform. Whether you are a first-year PhD candidate or a tenured investigator, your voice is an instrument of progress. Speak up, not just for your own career, but for the breakthroughs that will only happen when all perspectives are heard.

In the lab, precision is everything. In the forum, your voice is everything.

Too often, women in science have been taught to speak softly, to wait for the data to be "perfect," to let others claim the discovery, have their names left out in partnerships, or share tribute when there was little to none. We've been the "hidden figures" for long enough. We are entering an era where our insights, our leadership, and our critiques are the fuel for the next generation of discovery.

Claim your seat at the table—and then pull up a chair for someone else.

Your voice isn't just a sound; it's a catalyst. Let's make it loud enough to change the world.

Women have been historically underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematic (STEM) fields. Be sure to visit the AAPB Human Library profiles, dedicated to our "barrier breakers." 

Our intention is to celebrate and honor the empowering stories of those women who have paved the way for future generations. AAPB honors all women’s accomplishments in scientific progress, science leadership, science policy, science communication, and student mentorship.
