In the ongoing discussions about the lack of diversity in science, it can be easy to focus solely on demographics. And although improving the numbers is a necessary start, it is not enough to truly solve the problem. Many graduate programs, for example, are making concerted efforts to recruit students from historically marginalized groups, including African-Americans, Latinos and students with disabilities, but this approach will only succeed if faculty members, administrators and the scientific community at large also consider the environment that the students are being recruited into, and how to make those spaces truly inclusive arenas where a diverse group of scholars can thrive.

Colleges and universities are increasing graduation rates across the board for all races, but many of them aren't making a dent when it comes to closing the graduation gap between white students and underrepresented minorities.
A new study from The Education Trust shows that more than two-thirds of all four-year public colleges and universities studied increased graduation rates between 2003 and 2013, a trend that's integral to fulfilling the Obama administration's goal of having the most college graduates in the world by 2020.

When is the last time you indulged in a bit of star-gazing? Even if it's been awhile since you've spent any time contemplating the night sky, you probably remember the staggering number on display. It would be impossible to count them all, but there are always a few that shine so much brighter than the others that it's hard to look away.
