Gender Differences in Patenting in the Academic Life Sciences
In this Kauffman-sponsored study, Stuart, Ding, and Fiona Murray of MITs Sloan School of Management reveal that male life scientists in academia secure patents at more than twice the rate of their female colleagues. The study suggests that women conduct equally significant research, but often find themselves left out of social networks that provide valuable access to the commercial sector. The authors conclude that additional networking groups could help foster greater connections between female researchers and the business community.
