Chances are, if you’re asked to think of a name from STEM on the spot, that name will be a man’s. The history of women in STEM has not been given equal attention, and the same is true of the column inches, screen time and airwaves devoted to present-day innovators. But these authors, performers, creators and campaigners are making sure that women in STEM are not forgotten.

Sheryl Sandberg, Melinda Gates and Ginni Rometty are just a few of today's biggest tech leaders who have championed getting more women involved in the traditionally male-dominated STEM field.

Being fired is difficult enough in itself. Couple that with the fact that you often have to discuss why you left your previous company in job interviews, and it often feels like adding insult to injury.

In this regard, all higher learning institutions, including those established especially for the education and training of minorities, are relevant.

Like it or loathe it, publishing in high-profile journals is the fast track to positions in prestigious universities with illustrious colleagues and lavish resources, celebrated awards and plentiful grant funding. Yet somehow, in the search to understand why women’s scientific careers often fail to thrive, the role of high-impact journals has received little scrutiny.

A lot of otherwise competent people get scared when having to face a job interview. That makes sense: It's an uncommon situation in which people have to answer questions about themselves, with high stakes attached to the answers. And even people who are otherwise very good at talking can get tight-lipped when it comes to interviews; there's a lot riding on what they say, and many interviewers ask questions designed to trip people up.

 Talking about race with people who are different from you can be awkward and uncomfortable, but it's necessary and doable. The fact is racism exists, racial conflict exists, and inequality still exists.

Police shootings, Black Lives Matter and issues of inequality substantiate the need to have real conversations about race.
