Science
Nearly everyone agrees that science has a gender problem. But the size of the gap depends on the area of science. Now, a study of nearly 1 million engineering paper co-authorships puts hard numbers on the problem in this male-dominated scientific field, and finds a paradoxical trend: Female engineers are publishing in slightly more prestigious journals on average than their male colleagues, but their work is getting less attention.

 For many people, January is the time of year to pursue new goals. As the years go on, this yearly goal-setting becomes routine. Even though you have new goals you're passionate about pursuing, your faith in your ability to accomplish them or your awareness about why you're setting goals in the first place may diminish. Before you jot down a list of New Year's resolutions this January, take a look at this chart to reflect on what goals are really worth pursuing.

Rarely does chemistry enjoy the limelight as it has in past weeks. The announcement by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry that the seventh row of the periodic table has been filled through the discovery of four artificially created elements (numbers 113, 115, 117 and 118) has excited wide public discussion. What will these substances be called? What chemical properties do they have? How much further can the periodic table be extended?

Reality is sometimes completely at odds with the way that scientists imagine hiring decisions are made. Grad students and postdocs tend to view the employment process through their own lens of experience, where smart people with high scores automatically get in ahead of the pack. But when it comes to company hiring decisions, this is not even close to reality.

January might be close to halfway through, but that doesn't mean there's any less enthusiasm among job seekers to make 2016 the year of the dream job.
Although Jan. 6 was the forecasted No. 1 day for job searches according to Monster.com, information from a recent Harris Poll conducted for Glassdoor.com, reveals that 45 percent of people recently reported that they will search for a new job in 2016. Although this means a more crowded market rife with qualified candidates, it also means a shift in the process and changes to the way companies and job seekers will interact.

back in the day, entering the professoriate was one path to a stable life, professionally speaking. Tenure made jobs lifelong. Yet those halcyon days when the promise of a job for life was not so unthinkable have slipped away at universities, just as it has in many other sectors in the contemporary era.
Colleges and universities now rely on non-tenure-track faculty to fill their professorial ranks. According to the American Association of University Professors, approximately 3 out of 4 instructional staff are non-tenure track, and more than 50 percent hold part-time appointments.

TIME
"In today's job market, your resume needs to immediately stand out," says Dawn Bugni, a professional resume writer in Wilmington, North Carolina. Attention spans are at an all-time short, with hiring managers spending just six seconds looking at a resume before deciding whether the applicant is worth further consideration, a recent study by TheLadders found. (That's if a human looks at it at all; before your application even reaches a hiring manager, it usually has to make it past an automated applicant tracking system.)
