The most selective US universities have nearly closed the gender gap in physics, engineering, and computer science degrees, while less selective institutions have seen it widen. Women's representation in these fields is approaching parity at highly selective universities.
A recent study led by the Institute for Systems Biology highlights the transformative power of informal STEM learning, offering practical insights into co-creating experiences with students. The research shows significant gains among high school students participating in in-person and remote informal STEM programs.
A new study suggests that rewarding women for their work in computer science similar to what men receive could help reduce the gender wage gap. According to researchers, controlling for other factors, women working in CS jobs earn 91 cents for every dollar a man makes.
Female STEM doctoral students are less likely to become new inventors compared to their male counterparts during PhD training. Faculty advisors play a critical role in training new inventors, with top inventor faculty members increasing the probability of filing the first patent by 23%. The research highlights a 'leaky pipeline' of fem...
The University of Missouri is launching a five-year, $3 million doctoral training program to prepare the next generation of scientists and engineers for emerging fields like materials science and data science. The program aims to empower future workers with both technical expertise and data-driven insights.

The new report shows increased representation of women, Black, Hispanic, American Indian, and Alaska Native people in STEM jobs over the past decade, but those groups remain underrepresented compared to their overall distribution. The report highlights progress in diversity and equity in STEM education and careers.
A recent UNLV-led study discovered that women enthusiastically embraced live chat during pandemic Zoom classes, with ratings showing significantly higher engagement than men. The researchers hope this data can help colleges incorporate technology into hybrid and in-person courses to increase underrepresented groups' access to STEM fields.
The Stevens ACES program has been awarded a $750,000 grant to expand its STEM education initiatives in underserved communities. The program provides full-tuition scholarships and academic support to high school students from these communities, with a remarkable success record for inspiring students to pursue STEM careers.
The €15.7 million AUFRANDE project aims to generate industry-relevant research by employing 64 early career doctoral researchers from French and Australian universities. Researchers will receive training and support, including annual workshops and group events, to foster high-performing early-stage researchers.

AmScope B120C-5M Compound Microscope supports teaching labs and QA checks with LED illumination, mechanical stage, and included 5MP camera.
A new chapter explores how bringing arts to STEM fields can help students explore their interests and understand representation in children's literature. The exercise, which paired picture book creation with first-year writing lessons, led to changes in students' views on diversity and inclusion.
A recent study found that many researchers overlook the importance of weighting and sample design in survey data, leading to incorrect estimates. The American Statistical Association has identified this issue as a systemic problem, with only half of secondary analyses accounting for weighting.
A new study found that eighth-grade science teachers without an educational background in science are less likely to practice inquiry-oriented science instruction, a pedagogical approach developed by the National Research Council. This research suggests that U.S. middle-grades students may lag behind global peers in scientific literacy...
