A University of Minnesota study expected to begin releasing results within the next year is exploring how women are influencing the operations of organizations within traditionally male-dominated fields like math and science.
Researchers from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs are working on a study examining the effects of the growing number of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics leadership positions. This trend is affecting opportunities in STEM fields and how organizations in those topic areas approach research questions.

When you're frustrated on a job search it's tempting to punch the sofa cushions and get mad at recruiters and employers. You will find plenty of job seekers doing those things, because the traditional corporate and institutional recruiting process is as broken as it can be.
Still, you have to get a job, so after you get finished beating up on the sofa cushions and using your most colorful curses to describe recruiters and hiring managers, it's time to spring into action!

At the 65th Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, which takes place June 28 to July 3 in Germany, some 650 students and postdocs will mingle with 66 Nobel laureates and attend lectures, panel discussions and master classes. One of those laureates is Richard J. Roberts, who won the 1993 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine jointly with Philip A. Sharp for their discoveries of split genes. In an interview with Science Careers, Roberts shared his thoughts on how to build a career in science. This interview was edited for brevity and clarity.

It's not that no one reads cover letters. The hard truth is that if your letter looks like everyone else's, the hiring manager will read it — and promptly forget it.
So, read on for the five of the most cliche lines to strike from your cover letter immediately. (Bonus points if you have yours open in a separate screen, highlight any offending lines and promise to change them before you submit your next application.)

As the rate of women enrolled in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) subjects is still fairly low relative to their male counterparts, researchers are wondering what it is about the realm of math and science that is keeping women away. They know it is not that women are incapable; in fact, women have proved themselves capable time and time again, especially in the U.K., where women taking two-year vocational courses in science and mathematics are outpacing their fellow male students. Yet today, women only hold 27 percent of all computer science jobs, while only 20 percent of women graduate with a related computer science degree. Researchers from Florida State University who have sought to study just that, believe it all boils down to a matter of perceptions.

Many people use this strategy in their job search, unaware that it's holding them back from being genuine and authentic. Have you ever used an absurd hashtag or related a regular difficulty as an epic fail? If so, you're participating in social media norms that cause word-inflation—the process by which powerful words mean less and less over time from repetition (e.g., you're not "dying" over fashion; your life isn't "over" because you're late to work; and your ex isn't "the worst person who ever lived").

Growing up, Armanda Kouassi's math and science grades were so high that it seemed a natural fit for her to pursue the science, technology, engineering or mathematics route. But none of her female classmates was headed down that path.
"Science and technology was branded as a boy's thing," the 23-year-old native of Côte d'Ivoire says. "None of my teachers would tell me that I have the potential to do further studies."
