| Popis: | The topic of gender equality within the United States workforce is receiving a great deal of attention. The field of chemistry is no exception and is increasingly focused on taking steps to achieve gender diversity within the chemistry workforce. Over the past several years, many computational chemistry groups within large pharmaceutical companies have realized growth in the number of women, and here we discuss the key factors that we believe have played a role in attracting and retaining the authors of this review as computational chemists in pharma. Furthermore, we combine our professional experiences in the context of how computational methodology and technology have evolved over the past decades and how that evolution has facilitated the inclusion of more women into the field. Our hope is to be a part of a solution and provide insight that will allow the chemistry workforce to continue to make steps forward in attaining gender diversity in the workplace. |
