This live roundtable discussion addressed the continuing problem of gender-based discrimination in the sciences. The expert panel examined the efforts being taken by scientific organizations, academic centers, and funding agencies to end gender bias in science. They also considered the cultural changes needed in the sciences to prevent and eradicate discrimination, including moving the narrative away from blaming the victim and excusing discriminatory behavior, and toward community responsibility.
