Last semester, student-activist groups nationwide issued demands to their universities seeking everything from mandatory sensitivity-and-racial-bias training to the development of safe spaces on campus for people of color.

A trio of recent sexual harassment cases involving university scientists is drawing extensive attention from at least one lawmaker in Congress. In the wake of the cases, Representative Jackie Speier, D–California, says she wants to strengthen a federal anti-discrimination law to help solve the problem. But it's not clear how her proposed solution — still in the formative stage — would work, or whether it can be enacted into law.
Speier spurred headlines last week when she took to the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to reveal the lurid details of an investigation into sexual harassment by astronomer Timothy Slater, then at the University of Arizona in Tucson, more than a decade ago.

Scientists believe they may have found a giant planet in our distant solar system, possibly the long-sought after Planet X.
It is believed to have a mass about 10 times that of Earth and orbits about 20 times farther from the Sun on average than does Neptune. As a result, it would take this new planet between 10,000 and 20,000 years to make just one full orbit around the Sun.

 What does 2016 look like for you? Are you up for change or are you looking forward to something more routine? Either way, the best time to take stock and make any subsequent updates is when you do not have to.

They all agreed: Web presence, network and professional edge. So take a few minutes now to do a little assessing.

STEM careers are some of the highest-paying and fastest-growing in the U.S., yet women and minorities continue to be underrepresented in majors that lead to careers in these high-demand fields. According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, women make up less than 25 percent of the STEM workforce and have not gained any considerable ground in recent decades, despite increases in the number of college-educated women joining the general workforce.

Think all creative teaching methods argon? Think again!
A neon light went on over one mom’s head when she thought of a brilliant way to teach her kids chemistry — a periodic table version of the game Battleship.
"I came up with the idea because we play Battleship a lot at our house," Karyn Tripp, a mom of four who has been homeschooling her kids for the past seven years, told The Huffington Post. "I was studying chemistry with my kids and we were trying to think of a fun way to memorize them. So it just came to me!"

If there's any time of year when job search fatigue swoops in and threatens to stop you cold in your cover letter writing, resume-tailoring, application-sending game, this may be it. The holidays are a thing of the past, the temperature's dropping, and the reality of the situation is pretty much in your face.
Regardless of whether you’re working and want to leave the company you're with or you’ve been unemployed for weeks or months, looking for a job can really suck. You don't see positions that interest you, or you do, but your efforts at connecting with someone at the organization fail miserably. No one responds to your email, or you go in for a meeting and think you've nailed it until you learn that another candidate has been chosen. No matter where you are in the process — how many places you've applied or how many pre-screen phone interviews you've had — one thing's for sure: Job searching can be exhausting.
