The Conversation
There’s no shortage of talk about the need to get more students to go into STEM majors. But a growing body of research, including our own at the Institute for Democracy and Higher Education at Tufts University, indicates there might also be a need to get more STEM majors to go to the polls.
An analysis that we conducted shows that college students studying STEM disciplines — that is, science, technology, engineering and mathematics — were among the least likely to vote. The analysis was based on enrollment and voting records of nearly 2 million undergraduate students at four-year colleges.

Irene Nobeli writes: I huff and puff my way up the moderate slope. Even by my own abysmal standards, this is a poor run.

But at work, happiness had become elusive. After a relatively relaxed Ph.D. and postdoc, I had been thrilled when I landed a tenured job.

Getting scientists to become more politically involved has been an ongoing movement this year, with groups like the American Association for the Advancement of Science and American Chemical Society encouraging scientists to voice their opinions and even join protests, like the March for Science in April 2017. Now, hundreds of scientists and STEM professionals are running for public office in 2018, for everything from Senate seats to a spot on the local school board.

Liz Ryan writes:
One of the first things I noticed when I became an HR person was the incredible amount and variety of personal information job applicants often share in their job interviews.
Job interviews can be scary. When you show up at a job interview, you have no idea what to expect. Will the interviewer be friendly, or awful? Will the setting be warm and inviting, or harsh and cold?

How many “lost Einsteins” are out there in the U.S.?
New research suggests there are many kids who could have grown up to be inventors and innovators, but never had the chance, or the exposure to, those scientific fields. That disparity was especially evident among kids from certain backgrounds.
