Harvard Business Review
For years, companies, universities and nonprofits have researched the reasons why women are less likely to enter STEM fields — and why, once they enter, they face challenges that frequently push them out. In prior research, we at the Center for Talent Innovation found that women leave STEM fields in droves: 52 percent of highly qualified women working for science, technology, or engineering companies leave their jobs. We, and others, have found that the cultures surrounding women in STEM have been shown, time and again, to be particularly challenging.

Science
Writing a doctoral thesis — the culmination of years of research work—can be a daunting endeavor. But learning from those who have already tackled this task can help you make the process a little smoother. Science Careers asked recent graduates and current students to reflect on their experiences and what did—and didn’t — work for them.

Futurity
Gender parity in some areas of the STEMM (science, technology, engineering, math, and medicine) workforce could be centuries away unless we systematically identify and close the gender gap, according to a new study.
By analyzing 10 million academic papers, and the genders of their 36 million authors, researchers at the University of Melbourne have gained this new insight into when STEMM fields could reach this goal.

The Cut
Job hunting is fraught with tricky conversations that you might need to have throughout the process — from what to say if you botched your answer to an interview question to how to ask if a long hiring process will ever end. Especially given the power dynamics in job interviews, it can be hard to know exactly how to navigate these conversations. Below, we’ve got ten of the trickiest conversations you might need to have with an interviewer, and advice on what to say in each one.

Bustle
You've likely heard of female scientific stalwarts like Marie Curie — whose research in the field of radioactivity led to the invention of the x-ray machine — or Rosalind Crick, whose contributions to our understanding of DNA may have been as important as Watson and Crick's. But a recent report took a look at which inventions are helping us live longer than ever — and female scientists have a hand in a huge number of them.
