Beyond the Scenes from The Daily Show

How The Matilda Effect Removes Women in STEM From History

The Matilda Effect was coined in 1993 and explains the phenomenon of women’s historical contributions to science getting forgotten over time. These women are not only left out of history books, but also subjected to men taking credit for their work. Daily Show writer Nicole Conlan and host of the podcast Lost Women of Science, Katie Hafner, join Roy Wood Jr. to uncover why women and girls get overlooked in the sciences and how this can be improved through representation and exposure.    Watch the original segment:  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmoMm7JSHbY&amp;t=6s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmoMm7JSHbY&amp;t=6s</a>   Listen to The Lost Women of Science podcast:  <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lost-women-of-science/id1590670779">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lost-women-of-science/id1590670779</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
