In the coming decades, millions of aging Americans will find themselves needing medical services more than ever before — right in the midst of a projected massive physician shortage. The seas will rise, as will the need for scientists to further develop carbon-free energy and engineers to build the infrastructure to protect people and ecosystems from extreme weather events. And as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and data science advance and become more enmeshed in everyday life, the expertise to harness them in an ethical and effective manner will depend on those with advanced training in these fields.

Biases — structural, implicit and explicit — exclude many people from science, technology, engineering and mathematics education and employment, and devalue their contributions. Most studies focus on bias against women. Few data sets offer enough generalizability or statistical power to evaluate the representation of minority ethnic and racial groups, or to examine intersectionality.

One of the best times of the year for networking is upon us: the holiday season.
Now, I know what you are thinking — “there’s no time for that.” It’s a season of worry, planning, deadlines, procrastination, more worry, coffee, and extra cookies. Yet, even with all the craziness and sugar rushes, it is often the best time of year to find and meet new people, as well as craft engaging alliances.
