Researchers at Portland State University are learning more about undergraduates' experience in science, technology, engineering and math classes and sharing a set of survey questions that will help researchers and educators at other universities do the same.
This survey was developed by a team of researchers in PSU's STEM Equity and Education Institute with the help of instructors in chemistry, biology and physics.

Being a woman in science, technology, engineering or math brings with it its own unique set of challenges.
Women have to contend with pay gaps, sexual harassment and difficult workplace culture, not to mention a long and sad history of pseudoscientific gender essentialism, which has been used to justify inequality and even death threats, as seen in #Gamergate.
