Report on the 4th International IUPAP Women in Physics Conference

ORAL

Abstract

Stellenbosch, South Africa was the site of the 4$^{\rm th}$ International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) International Conference on Women in Physics, which took place on April 5$^{\rm th}$-8$^{\rm th}$. This conference brought together the diverse contributions of 250 female physicist attendees from nearly 60 countries worldwide to dissect the challenges faced by female physicists worldwide and to propose strategies to attract and retain more girls and women to the field. Having served as a member of the U.S. Delegation, I will discuss the resolutions reached and highlight the most important results of Global Survey of Physicists, where nearly 15,000 physicists shine light on how gender affects their lives and careers.
