Eighty-one percent of U.S. science, technology, engineering and math university faculty members are men. To address this substantial gender disparity, an interdisciplinary team from Montana State University, led by Jessi L. Smith, devised a three-step search intervention, the results of which are published in BioScience. The approach, based on self-determination theory, was successful. "Searches in the intervention were 6.3 times more likely to make an offer to a woman candidate, and women who were made an offer were 5.8 times more likely to accept the offer from an intervention search," explain the authors.

Ask anyone if they've ever had a bad handshake and you'll most likely get a laugh and a vivid description.
It's surprising how long we remember a bad one. Yet since we shake hands so many times in the normal business week, why do so many people shake hands badly? According to a poll taken by Chevrolet Europe, more than 70 percent of people said they lacked confidence when it came to shaking hands.

Think about what lies at the root of your interest in a science career. Why did you get into science in the first place — you know, back in your early days? Was it the promise of a big-time salary? Probably not. Science careers have never been touted as a sure-fire way to earn big-time compensation, and salary rarely comes up as a top selection factor for students deciding their future careers. Was it the prestige of an academic appointment at a distinguished university? Perhaps you reflected upon your academic adviser's cool job as a professor. That, however, probably wasn't at the root of your interest in science; you discovered it later on, as you were being mentored in the lab.

More and more research suggests gender bias in the sciences. But do men and women similarly trust evidence demonstrating such bias? A new paper argues that men and women interpret this kind of evidence — however scientific — differently, and that that has implications for the field as a whole. Perhaps unsurprisingly, though, not everyone agrees with the findings.

 Goal setting is the foundation of good planning. Goals help an organization come to terms with what is relevant. But too often, once goals are identified, the process stops before they are implemented. To solve that problem, researchers Peter M. Gollwitzer and Gabriele Oettingen suggest, "People need to prepare in advance, so that their chances to overcome difficulties of goal implementation are kept high." Here are four areas that need to be addressed in order for goals to be achieved.

It took an architect lying on the floor, sticking his head into a hole and looking up to realize: There was something there.
The something initially was nothing — an empty space. But an empty space in the Rotunda that Thomas Jefferson designed at the University of Virginia is something. It's one of the most-studied buildings in the country, said Brian Hogg, senior historic preservation planner in the Office of the Architect for the University, so renowned that it is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. They don't expect surprises.
