“There are so many women that are capable, smart, sharp and good at what they do. What they are lacking is the opportunity to sit across the table from the other minds that are coming up with the innovative solutions,” says Dr. Christyl Johnson, NASA’s Deputy Director for Technology and Research Investments.
Dr. Johnson joined NASA in the summer of 1985 and over the years she has dedicated her efforts to support young women in STEM fields.

Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Ph.D. writes:
Imagine a brilliant, young, black, female, scientist, with incredible wit, impeccable fashion, and fierceness in battle. There are a zillion things to love about "Black Panther," but seeing Letitia Wright embody Shuri floored me. I didn't realize just how enormous a void such there was in popular culture until I saw it start to fill.
Black Panther blew my mind. Shuri made my heart sing.

You may think of LinkedIn like Facebook for professionals, but recruiters and hiring managers don’t. They treat the professional network like the gigantic resume database it essentially is. For job seekers, that means one thing: Your profile needs to be laser-focused on target jobs, and dense enough with data to be discoverable by the recruiters you most want to hear from.

People become scientists for many reasons. Some want to answer important questions, or fix the world, or invent something fantastic. Some like the smell of β-mercaptoethanol in the morning. Some want to stick it to their flat-earther parents.
Ask scientists about their reasons for choosing this profession, and you’ll get a range of answers. This person has always been fascinated by dung beetles. This one misheard what a scientist’s salary is. This one failed out of med school.

Women who consider careers in the physical sciences, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields are deterred by stereotypes that impose barriers on the recruitment, retention and advancement of women in STEM, according to a researcher at Missouri S&T.
Dr. Jessica Cundiff, assistant professor of psychological science at Missouri S&T, examines why these stereotypes exist and recommends how to remove them in “Subtle Barriers and Bias in STEM: How Stereotypes Constrain Women’s STEM Participation and Career Progress,” Cundiff’s chapter in the book, “The War on Women in the United States: Beliefs, Tactics and the Best Defenses.”

Picture this all-too-common scenario: you had a great job interview which ends with the recruiter indicating you will be called back shortly. So you go about your business waiting for that callback to be scheduled. In the best case, the recruiter does call back, further interviews are scheduled, and you even get the job. In the worst case, you never get a call back, and you’re back to square one. In both cases, however, you have made a critical mistake – you waited patiently after your job interview (a nice way of saying you did nothing), instead of using this valuable time to move your search forward.
