| In the fall of 2003, the women from UC Berkeley who had attended the Women in Astronomy II: Ten Years Later conference at Caltech the previous summer gathered to report on the conference to the UC Berkeley astronomy department. In addition to sharing what we learned at WIA II, we also presented statistical and anecdotal data on the status of women within the UC Berkeley astronomy and physics departments and made recommendations as to how the local environment could be improved for women. Here we compile our results, our presentation, and other related information. We are grateful to Luisa Rebull at Caltech for allowing us to use many of the slides from her similar presentation, available on her women in science page. | ||
