NASCAR to promote STEM education
Laboratory Equipment
It takes a lot of geometry and physics to get a race car to go 200 laps at speeds that can top 200 mph.
In a nod to the often overlooked science behind races like the Daytona 500, NASCAR is announcing a years-long commitment to promote STEM — the buzzword for science, technology, engineering and math — inside classrooms and out.

STEM workforce no more diverse than 14 years ago
U.S. News & World Report
Despite a national focus on directing more students toward science, technology, engineering and math fields — particularly women and minorities — the STEM workforce is no more diverse now than in 2001, according to data from Change the Equation.
The group, a coalition of Fortune 500 companies focused on increasing STEM education, recently hosted a panel discussion on the stagnant nature of STEM diversity and what needs to be done to better target women and minority students who may represent overlooked talent in schools nationwide.

Scientists are cautious about public outreach
Nature
Scientists think that they should actively participate in public debates about science and technology — but many have misgivings about doing so, according to a survey of nearly 4,000 U.S. researchers. The results of the poll, by the Pew Research Center, inspired a fresh online conversation about the use of social media in public engagement.
How companies can encourage minority populations to get into STEM fields
Forbes
Last year, the NSF shared that "women, African-Americans, Latinos, Native Americans and individuals with disabilities make up 70 percent of the nation's population and their underrepresentation in computer science represents a loss of talent and creativity for our nation."
What's exciting is that some companies have devised creative and effective ways of encouraging these communities to pursue STEM careers.

What leadership is — and what it is not
Entrepreneur
Like many roles in life and business, being a true leader is a calling. Either you're a great one, or you're not. Think of those who have changed the expected, like Picasso, Plato, Thelma and Louise, Socrates and Tom Brady.
Those are the ones who blaze new trails without fear, without worry and without a second thought to what other people think. They have a singular vision and a singular course.
These are the terrible mistakes you're making in your job search
TIME
Job seekers are feeling more confident about the economy and about their prospects, and more of them — especially young adults — report that they're keeping an eye out for new employment opportunities even if they already have a decent job.
In a new survey, recruiting software company Jobvite finds that 45 percent of job seekers are satisfied with their current job, but open to jumping ship — and half of currently employed people looking for work characterize their current job as a "stepping stone" or "entry level," a figure which jumps to more than 70 percent of jobseekers under the age of 30.
