In this video, Professor Caroline McMillen talks about the importance of the program from the perspective of Vice-Chancellor of the University of Newcastle, one of 32 institutions participating in the SAGE Pilot. Professor McMillen says:
I came into my science career some 30 years ago and it was very clear, as a young scientist, that the problems of gender discrimination, of issues of equity and women’s careers were really off the path. What I have found, 30 years later, is that the problem has not been solved. It’s not a pipeline problem – it’s a systems problem.
