The word “scientist” does not specify a gender. And yet, for eons — well, ever since conferences and symposiums emerged from the primordial academic soup — the majority of prominent scientific speakers and panelists have been men.
This phenomenon has been documented in studies and spawned many mocking monikers: “manference,” “himposium,” “manel.” People have tried to understand why the Y chromosome so dominates the dais and explain that there really should be more X.

Early in my career I blindly sent out hundreds of résumés. I was in a position that a lot of new grads find themselves in: I wanted to get my foot in the door of an industry and I had no connections. Needless to say, it took a long time before an editor took a chance on me and gave me my first magazine job. But I likely could have cut down on that lengthy job search if I didn’t make a few of the most common resume mistakes.

In an article titled “Identity, Campus Climate, and Burnout Among Undergraduate Women in STEM Fields,” Purdue University professor Dr. Eric Deemer and Ph.D. student Laura Jensen wrote that respondents often described an unpleasant campus climate “associated with increased emotional exhaustion and cynicism, although not decreased academic efficacy.”

Because she was working full-time and attending classes a few evenings a week, it was not practical for her to serve an internship. David suggested that she consider volunteering at a healthcare facility on Saturdays.

Let me start with this, a thank you letter won’t necessarily compensate if in your job interview an employer isn’t convinced that you’re the best person for the role, but it does leave a good impression that speaks to your work ethic and courtesy. Research shows that the most important quality in a new hire is a solid work ethic, followed by being a good culture fit and then integrity and resourcefulness.

It seemed risky to try something new midway to my tenure review. Since I started my dream job as an assistant professor at a small liberal arts college, the gist of the advice I heard and read was to stick with what I know, and then I could branch out after tenure. I didn’t necessarily disagree — it made sense that I could contribute most in my formal area of expertise. But as I chugged along on my research using the same old tried-and-true benchtop assays, my excitement about the work was fading. I needed something new to inspire me again.
