7 lies that can sabotage your job search
Forbes
On a job search you need all the power you can muster. It isn’t easy out there pounding the pavement, or staying at home and filling out endless job application forms. It’s hard to get through a job search without a moderate-to-severe mojo drop. You wonder why it’s taking so long, and rage against whoever invented keyword-searching algorithms. A job search is isolating, and causes you to doubt yourself. You need all the resources you can gather!
Study: Gender wage gap even worse for black women
Diversity Inc.
Several studies have shown the wide gender wage gap in this country, but a new study reveals that race creates an even bigger wage gap between men and women.
While women, on average, make $0.77 for every $1 that men make, Black women average just $0.64 for every $1 made by white men, according to the study by the National Women’s Law Center. That adds up to about $18,650 a year based on a 40-hour work week and means they have to work nearly 19 months to make what white men do in 12.
STEM alone is not enough
The Huffington Post
If one does a general Google search for STEM, there will be more than 60 million results. If you narrow the search to STEM education news, more than 70,000 articles will appear for the past year alone. The interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education has clearly become a national interest and priority, beginning as early as 2006 when President George W. Bush announced the American Competitiveness Initiative in his State of the Union message.
Leadership lessons: Why it pays to put others first
By Scott Steinberg
 A proud, time-honored tradition among leading organizations and brands, quality customer service has become more than just a given common courtesy today. It has also evolved to become a core necessity in the age of abundance, when dozens of competitors are just click or call away. Unsurprisingly, in today's hyperpaced world where information travels at the speed of tweet, customer service may even seem to have taken on an entirely new meaning — one core to any organization's survival.
Soft matter goes digital
Chemistry World
Already used in everything from paints to optical materials, colloids have found an entirely new application: As computing elements capable of high density information storage.
U.S. collaborators Sharon Glotzer from University of Michigan and David Pine from New York University have designed a system of reconfigurable colloidal clusters which show potential for performing computational functions in unconventional environments.
Diversity oversight? Obama's initiative, 'My Brother's Keeper, now includes all
Diverse
That 60 of the nation’s largest school districts are now joining in on President Obama’s My Brother’s Keeper program is indeed great news.
The word of schools being in the mix gives the president’s $200 million dollar program the kind of “buy-in” it needs to really be successful.
Notice, no new money has been added to the initiative. But now that schools are involved, it makes sense for local nonprofit and private sector sources to open up and get involved.
Summer programs aim to hack tech's diversity problem
NBC News
Some kids spend their summer hanging by the pool. Others study up to solve the diversity problem in America’s tech industry.
Across the country, summer programs are aimed at addressing a “pipeline problem” in science, technology, and math, encouraging students from underrepresented backgrounds — African Americans, Latinos and Native Americans — into pursuing careers in those fields.
Power of partnerships: Getting more Latino students into STEM fields
edSurge
At the annual California Association of Latino Superintendents and Administrators (CALSA) Summer Institute, STEM discussions took center stage. But it wasn’t just because of the “STEAMing Towards the Digital Age” conference theme. Today, CALSA and STEM education nonprofit JASON Learning announced an exciting partnership designed to get more Latino and Latina students engaged in STEM fields.
