SCIENCE
Fariba Karimi (CSH Faculty) is a physicist and computational social scientist. At the Hub, she lead the team “Network Inequality.” In her talk “Diverse Views in Science,” Fariba will investigate the importance of diversity in science. Diversity can lead to new ways of thinking and open up new scientific paradigms and innovations that were previously hidden from us. Improving the participation of under-represented groups is not only fairer—it could also produce better and more innovative research.
