Be open-minded. That’s one of the messages that career consultant Michelle Frank has for scientific job seekers. When contemplating nonacademic careers, “many young academic scientists have a tendency to think, ‘I was a research scientist in academia, so I’ll look for a research scientist position [in industry],’” she says. But if you limit yourself that way, “you might miss a career opportunity that, despite not being exactly what you envisioned, could be a perfect fit.”

It’s admirable to have great expectations — whether in your personal life or your professional career: to expect to do well in school, to expect to be successful in your new job, to expect to have a fulfilling relationship, to expect to be a terrific parent.

Are there any downsides to having to great expectations?

Sometimes it takes only one moment to inspire a young person for the rest of his or her life.
In the Twin Cities, a group called “Spark” is hoping to spur those moments through a short film anyone can watch online.
The five-minute film is called “Spark Moments” and the goal is to prove that careers in STEM are open to anyone, especially women. It only takes that little spark.

Women with astronomy Ph.D.s are leaving the field before landing a faculty job at a rate three to four times higher than are their male counterparts, a study of crowdsourced hiring data in the United States has revealed.
The results support evidence that women in the field experience systemic hurdles such as hiring biases and harassment, and also confirms anecdotal reports that female astronomers leave the field more frequently than their male peers.
