Many barriers stand in the way of a Latina interested in a career in STEM. Even if one pushes past discrimination and isolation, there is still the question of resources.
The numbers say it all: Only 2 percent of Latinas held science and engineering positions in 2015, as reported by the National Science Foundation. According to a report from the National Center for Women and Information Technology, Latinas made up only 1 percent of the computing workforce in 2017.

As senior vice president of quality, regulatory and engineering services at Abbott, Corlis Murray oversees engineering and a $400 million budget at a company with 99,000 employees in more than 150 countries. And she is one of the only African American women who is a top engineer at a Fortune 500 company (if not the only one).
Murray is serious about recruiting more women and minorities into science and engineering, and she wants STEM-related companies to do more than they are doing.

As a graduate student, astronomer Jocelyn Bell Burnell sifted through miles of printouts to find an unexpected repeating radio signal that became the first solid evidence of pulsars, a special class of stars. Her supervisor wrote it off as noise until she confirmed the finding from several other sources in the sky and argued it was a new, natural phenomena.

If you care about postdocs, the general dearth of reliable information about them is probably a continuing frustration. It’s encouraging, therefore, to report on two recent studies that offer useful insights. Though disparate in their aims and approaches, the studies reflect the exploitation of postdocs — both financially and through the generally unattainable academic career aspirations that many harbor — that continues to undergird the structure of academic research in the U.S.

Harassed on field trips. Excluded from projects. On the receiving end of micro-aggressions. A lack of female role models.
These are some of our collective experiences as women working in science and engineering.
Such experiences erode research opportunities and career progression, leading to the loss of many brilliant women from our disciplinary field — along similar lines as we've recently seen exposed in Australian federal parliament.

This summer, 55 middle school girls in the Washington, D.C., area trained on a flight simulator, launched a high-altitude weather balloon, and went skydiving in an indoor wind tunnel. The camp was funded by two billionaires — one of whom is the president of the U.S., who donated a quarter of his $400,000 annual salary.

Concentration — it's the key element you need in order to do your very best work for your organization. Yet, even the most dedicated managers can get distracted from time to time. Between those emails you think you must answer right this second, the unexpected fire on a project you needed to put out an hour ago, or responding to pressing questions from your staff, your attention is being pulled in many directions. Want to reboot your focus immediately, so you can do an amazing job on that important report or presentation that's waiting on your desk?
