Recent studies show the COVID-19 virus is affecting women in STEM at a disproportionate rate. The scientific community has a responsibility to consider what systemic changes will be necessary to ensure that the pandemic does not reverse promising trends related to women's advancement in STEM fields.

With emergency permission for using plasma donated by recovered COVID-19 patients to treat sick ones, some researchers are once again raising concerns that the push for speed is getting ahead of the science.
No randomized controlled trials have shown that convalescent plasma works against COVID-19 yet. Even so, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced August 23 that it would allow convalescent plasma to be used under an emergency use authorization. That move has some experts worried that an unproven treatment may interfere with other more promising therapies, and may make it harder to find out if convalescent plasma really can help against COVID-19.
