Be curious and have a learning mindset. Cultural stereotypes and unconscious biases often send girls a message that they are not good at science and math. The message is reinforced when girls look around and see mainly men in STEM professions. The message then becomes part of the belief system, reinforcing it even further. In an effort to avoid failure, young women often shy away from pursuing a degree or career in STEM.

Job interviews are stressful for everyone, but this is especially true if you’re an introvert.

 It's conference season! Think again if you think the best things about conferences are the goody bag and '80s flashback night. Conferences can be an incredible opportunity to accelerate our careers. Here's how. For example, while not exactly a relaxing vacation, conferences are paid time away from work. Time away from work provides a break from our routines.

Tom Grudin said, “Don’t fix the women; fix the system” (quote source: unknown).
These occurred at the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine “Symposium Highlighting Evidence-Based Interventions for Addressing the Underrepresentation of Women in Science, Engineering and Medicine recently in Washington. They both have deep experience in this area, as do the others who spoke at the Forum.

So you've passed the initial application stage and have secured an interview for a role you really want. Congratulations! But the hard part isn't over yet. You still need to ace the interview. And there's a lot to consider when it comes to job interviews, from wondering what questions will be asked to figuring out what to wear.

We are fortunate to have numerous opportunities to pursue various careers in science. Yet when it comes to navigating the field, little is available to support people when choosing their path. Other professions have resources dedicated to staffing, such as external recruiting firms whose sole job it is to find quality candidates. We rely on job boards, word of mouth and cold calling.

Elaine Weyuker earned her master’s degree in electrical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1960s, in an academic building that lacked a women’s bathroom. She went on to receive the first Ph.D. in computer science that Rutgers University awarded to a woman, and to become the first woman hired in the computer science department at New York University and as a fellow at Bell Labs.
