Mary-Claire participates in roundtable on female scientists

The New York Times presents a partial transcript of a rountable discussion on women in science in which our own Mary-Claire King participated, along with three other prominent female scientists from various disciplines. Here’s my favorite MC quote, on promoting other female scientists:

…women can help each other out a lot in this way because we know this about our younger women colleagues. We can introduce them to our colleagues. We can say: “Diane has a fabulous result. She needs to tell you what it is, and don’t move until she has told you.”

You might notice that the Diane in question is actually GS’s own alumna, Diane Dickel, who was heavily involved in WiGS during her time here.
