Early-career female scientists have a harder time obtaining funding than their male colleagues do, according to two recent independent studies. Female postdocs who apply for a prestigious independent research fellowship from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research are less successful than their male counterparts, although the difference is relatively small.

Research by a Northumbria academic could have a significant impact on the teaching of chemistry after he developed a radical new interpretation of a 99-year-old rule featured in all standard textbooks. Dr. Marcus Durrant, a Reader in Northumbria's Department of Applied Sciences, realized that the treatment of hypervalency in the Lewis theory of chemical bonding was flawed while he was teaching the theory to students.

Pat yourself on the back, because you just nailed the interview. It was a long, exhausting day that left you with a lot to think about, but now you're just focused on rewarding yourself with a glass of wine and a Netflix binge.
Except – wait – what's this? Your interview finished minutes ago, and these guys are offering you the job! Oh, by the way, they need to know if you'll accept within 24 hours.

How do you start a job search? Most people do it by updating their resume. They start looking at job ads, and they send out a few resumes or fill out some online applications.
Along the way, they tell their friends "Say, I’m looking for a new job — in case you hear of anything."
Some of their friends might say "Give me your resume! I know a few people I can send it to." Most job seekers would be quick to oblige the request. They'd send their friend a copy of their resume right away via email. Is that a good idea?

We all know job interviews are nerve-wracking experiences. We try to put our best foot forward, but when we get nervous, we often have a difficult time articulating our thoughts and may show such physical signs of stress as sweating or shaking. Here's how to get your nerves under control.

By Debra Josephson Abrams
 "Debra is a JAP." As I walk into my classroom, I see the words written neatly in bright orange on the whiteboard, and my colleague (someone I had counted as a friend) who has written them stands by the board, giggling, egging on my students to ask me what it means. Dumbfounded, speechless, shaken, I ask him to erase the offensive statement. But erasing it from the board hasn't erased the ache in my heart and pain in my gut, both of which permanently reside, gnawing at me daily.

The STEM workforce is no more diverse than it was 14 years ago, and it may be because smart kids with STEM interests can only go as far as their resources and support allow them. Some schools simply aren't equipped to give these youngsters the skills they need for their projects.

For job seekers, breaking through to the interview stage can be a lot like making the first cut on a sports team. You're thrilled about the opportunity, anxious about the process ahead and you can hardly wait to speak to your skills and hopefully make the team.
But sometimes the outcome doesn't depend as much on what you say, as on how you say it through your body language. While much of the job interview process depends on how you orally communicate — how you organize your thoughts into words and how you solve problems on the spot — the other part is to present yourself through your body language.
