DESCRIPTION:Over nearly all scientific organisations\, across 
 every country and across time one finds that the p
 rogression of women in research/academia is signif
 icantly hindered when compared to men. Such a univ
 ersal truth represents an enormous loss of talent\
 , including in our very own bioinorganic community
 . Recent years have seen some progress in understa
 nding the principal factors behind this phenomenon
  and there has been some progress in new schemes w
 hich are designed to address the lack of women in 
 senior scientific positions. These schemes have al
 so met with some resistance which\, in itself\, ha
 s been revealing of the reasons why there is such 
 a difference in the progression rates of men and w
 omen in science. This presentation discusses some 
 of the evidence behind gender equality\, and— most
  importantly—how that can be translated into day t
 o day practice within an academic department.
