Obviously all individuals are different. But on the whole women work more by consensus. On the whole they can see two sides to arguments and ideas. That s useful not only for running their labs, but also for seeing the broader picture of something, certainly in biomedical sciences. But you need both.
Women can be too nice to each other.
They can bend over backwards too readily. You re also active in the political aspects of scientific research. I think they should encourage private sector alliances much more. At the moment that is starting to happen, but it is woefully under-represented. At the moment people don t do that, and the average academic doesn t know about patents.
