Nominations are now open for “Talented 12,” C&EN’s annual feature that highlights a dozen brilliant young scientists who are shaping the future of chemistry. Talented 12 is an excellent launch pad for early-career researchers to attract students and postdocs, enhance their grant applications, and generally raise their profile within the scientific community. Do you know an outstanding young researcher that should be featured on C&EN’s list? Submit their name through this short form by April 15 for consideration in our 2019 class.

"If you can dream it, you can achieve it" is a quote famously attributed to Walt Disney, who notably brought the world of dreams into life. Many of us want to bring our dreams into life too, but where do dreams even come from in the first place? What motives us to dream? Undoubtedly, it has to do with our imagination, if we can imagine something we can create it.

Over the past two weeks, scientists nationwide have rallied behind a Vanderbilt University professor and prominent anti-harassment activist who is fighting to reverse her tenure denial.
BethAnn McLaughlin, an assistant professor of neurology and pharmacology at Vanderbilt's medical center, has become widely known over the past nine months as the architect of #MeTooSTEM, which began as a website and social-media community where people could tell their stories of experiencing harassment in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields.

 A speculative job application occurs whenever someone applies to an employer for a job that is not open. Job seekers do this in the hope that something on their application or résumé sparks an interest from the employer. Most employers’ websites offer the ability for candidates to post résumés and online applications regardless of whether or not there is a specific opening associated with the application. Most speculative applications are poorly done and never result in a call for an interview.

First-time women principal investigator scientists received considerably less funding from the National Institutes of Health compared to first-time male principal investigators, even at top research institutions, reports a new study from Northwestern Medicine and the Kellogg School of Management.
Previous research showed women receive lower startup funds from their universities to launch their research. This is the first study to show women get less money when they submit grants to the federal government.

Demand for science, technology, engineering and math degrees is on the rise. However, there are many barriers to gaining one.
One may be the appearance of the student seeking the degree, according to a new Rice University study. The extent to which students look racially stereotypical — that is, more or less like members of their racial group — influences how likely they are to persist in a STEM-related field.

Stephanie Santos-Díaz writes:
“What is the biggest challenge of graduate school?” an undergrad asked the panel of graduate students at an event I helped organize last summer. “Not letting the support from my community turn into pressure,” one panelist responded. That answer might have surprised some, who probably expected to hear about experiments that didn’t work or trudging through literature reviews. But I understood exactly what she meant. The speaker was an African-American woman.

At what age do you think the Age Discrimination in Employment Act protects you? That is, at what age is it illegal for employees to not hire or fire you purely on the basis of your age? 60, or maybe even 50?
The answer is 40, and there’s a very good reason for that. I just turned 43 and feel as young as ever, even if gray hairs are creeping in. But many people still see me as the “older worker,” and the situation is significantly worse if you’re in your 50s or 60s.

Kathryn R. Wedemeyer-Strombel writes:
Last month on Twitter, I opened up about one of the side effects of doctoral study that I hadn’t anticipated: the Ph.D. identity crisis.
With the date of my dissertation defense looming in four months, I’d begun to realize that I couldn’t answer two rather important questions.
