Equity and inclusion make for the criteria of scientific progress, argue thousands of physicists and astrophysicists in a passionate letter to the Supreme Court of the U.S.
The letter, officially mailed on Monday, Dec. 14, is a reaction to the most recent oral arguments in the drawn-out case of Fisher v. University of Texas.
Recently, two justices in particular, conservative stalwarts Antonin Scalia and John Roberts, questioned the merits of affirmative action and the advantage of minority inclusion in science classes.

One of science's longstanding mysteries has been what happens to new Ph.D.s when they finish their degrees. Lack of information about career outcomes has kept many aspiring scientists from developing a realistic picture of their professional prospects and has allowed far too many to expect to become tenure-track faculty members, despite the severe shortage of such positions relative to the number of people who want them.

LinkedIn is hoping new data it is adding to job postings will make job hunting more successful and efficient for its users.
The Mountain View, California-based professional network announced recently that it is adding a handful of new features to job postings in an effort give users better insight into the roles and employers they are researching, as well as what could give their application a competitive edge. The features are aimed at making it easier for users to quickly find out if they have any connections at the company, if the employer hires people whose experiences are similar to theirs and who the user would work with if they got the job. The move could help boost job searching activity on the platform, as well as users’ satisfaction with where they land.

Last October news broke of allegations that University of California, Berkeley, astronomer Geoff Marcy had for years harassed female students. (Marcy, who denied some of the allegations, resigned.)
The problem is not only outright sexual harassment — it is a culture of exclusion and unconscious bias that leaves many women feeling demoralized, marginalized and unsure. In one study, science faculty were given identical résumés in which the names and genders of two applicants were swapped; both male and female faculty judged the male applicant to be more competent and offered him a higher salary.

U.S. News & World Report
Victoria Baskerville, a first-year student majoring in biological sciences at the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, recently ran her final experiment in Science 101L, an interdisciplinary laboratory-intensive course. She and her lab partners had collected water samples from various sources on campus, tested them for purity and compared the results to their control, distilled water. "One of the things that we have to do is a final project where we get to actually put together our own experiment for the first time, rather than following a protocol," says Baskerville, 18. "That's really interesting to, for the first time, have a university lab, have the materials, and, in groups, put together and conduct our own experiment from start to finish."

In his new book, "The Scholar Denied," the sociologist Aldon Morris writes that contrary to the discipline's preferred origin story, the field of sociology was actually founded by W.E.B. DuBois, the first black person to receive a Ph.D. in the U.S. DuBois earned his degree from Harvard, but due to rampant racial segregation at the time, he was shut out of many employment opportunities. He ended up working at Atlanta University (now Clark Atlanta University), a historically black college with few resources, but still managed to do pioneering work in the field of sociology.

You often know when you've just made a big mistake in your job application. You forget to attach your resume. You send the wrong version. You address your cover letter to Mr. Chris Allen — then realize there’s a strong chance Chris is a woman.
But other times, you have no idea — you may even think you're doing everything right! In fact, there are a few common job search techniques that candidates employ over and over because they think they work well. In reality, though, these very same strategies might be standing in the way of you and that big interview.
