“An Invisible Woman: The Inside Story Behind the Microelectronic Computing Revolution in Silicon Valley”

In 2015, US CTO Megan Smith raised profound questions about women’s contributions in science, engineering and math being erased from history. In this talk we explore a case study of such erasure and surface a very counter-intuitive conjecture about the underlying causes and effects (i.e., the “ConwayEffect”).
