What is happening?About this EventWomen continue to face systemic barriers in medicine and science, despite decades of progress. What is happening?In Harsh Medicine, Dr. Jennifer R. Grandis draws on decades of experience as a physician-scientist, mentor and leader to expose how deeply gender bias is embedded in the structures of academic medicine and scientific research. Through rigorous analysis, real-world case studies, and personal insight, she argues that policies, funding systems, promotion practices and cultural norms continue to disadvantage women at every stage of their careers.Although she focuses on academic medicine and science research labs, there are wider implications. Many women, no matter what their profession or circumstances, might see themselves in these pages. Dr. Grandis, who has experienced sexual harassment in her own workplaces, knows reporting on the problems is only half of the equation, and she offers resources and solutions to give readers hope that we still might be able to "shock the system" and effect great change in the workplace, making it more egalitarian for women and men alike.NotesIn association with Wonderfest.Grandis photo by Marco Sanchez; courtesy of the speaker.SpeakersJennifer Rubin Grandis, M.D., Otolaryngologist; Distinguished Professor, University California San Francisco; Author, Harsh Medicine: Why Women Can’t Get Ahead in Science and HealthIn Conversation with Katie Hafner, Journalist; Co-creator and Host, “Lost Women of Science” Podcast5:30 p.m. doors open & check-in6–7 p.m. program7 p.m. book signing(all times Pacific Time) - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/san-francisco/dr-jennifer-grandis-why-women-cant-get-ahead-in-science-and-health-care/100001991413164382 - **Event Categories**: science-fair, health-wellness, art, literary-art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: The Commonwealth Club - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 27.33, max: 27.33, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: San Francisco - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: The Commonwealth Club - **lat**: 37.7933452 - **long**: -122.3925028 - **full address**: The Commonwealth Club, 110 The Embarcadero, San Francisco, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Dr. Jennifer Grandis: Why Women Can't Get Ahead in Science and Health Care - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/ec9dbba489a8a659754f1ddc2095c578cbc31a401ce1b59de02b45d7f601c3e1-rimg-w1200-h675-dc010101-gmir.png?v=1781076281 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Dr. Jennifer Grandis: Why Women Can't Get Ahead in Science and Health Care being held? - **A:** Dr. Jennifer Grandis: Why Women Can't Get Ahead in Science and Health Care takes place on Mon, 06 Jul, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Mon, 06 Jul, 2026 at 07:00 pm at The Commonwealth Club, 110 The Embarcadero, San Francisco, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Dr. Jennifer Grandis: Why Women Can't Get Ahead in Science and Health Care? - **A:** Dr. Jennifer Grandis: Why Women Can't Get Ahead in Science and Health Care is organized by Inforum at the Commonwealth Club. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
