Social inequalities are responsible for the loss of millions of ideas and inventions over hundreds of years. This loss over time is measurable today in a decline in innovation, slowing economic growth, and repercussions on all sectors, from technology to health care. The gender gap among inventors affects what gets invented鈥攁nd consequently who benefits from innovation.

On the Delve podcast, Desautels Professor John-Paul Ferguson investigates how women inventors may be more likely to patent inventions targeted toward women鈥檚 needs and interests, based on his research paper 鈥�.鈥� Joining the conversation to talk about their experiences are surgeon and 海角社区 professor Dr. Lucy Gilbert, who developed the genetic pap-test, and Negin Ashouri, CEO of , who developed a 3D-printed gynecological device. We ask how change in STEM patenting is happening today and what can be done to further support invention-based entrepreneurship by women, whose patents have the potential to change not only people鈥檚 lives but the future of what gets invented and by whom.
