Why is it important?
A gender diverse team is 14% likely to create a hit innovation than a same gender team.
Perspectives
The work is important because it shows that men and women innovators and scientists do higher impact work when working together, and that the bias towards same gender teams may be inhibiting teams from reaching their potential.
