We talk to Dr Siân Brooke of the Data Science Institute at LSE, who researches gender inequality in technology. Discover the impact of gender on code acceptance and learn why diversity in tech is crucial for innovation and security. Explore the gender gap in technology, the importance of women in STEM, and how diversity in coding can drive technological advancements.
Why are there so few women in tech?
Dr Siân Brooke creates a whole new methodology to analyse coding styles, to see if men are inherently better coders.
This video is based on Dr Siân Brooke's research paper: "Programmed differently? Testing for gender differences in Python programming style and quality on GitHub"
