Our Picks for January 18th, 2019
Take a look at the following articles selected by the PWN Blog team. The list is short, but interesting!
As we settle in the new year, this article looks back to the 5 most profound changes that the Women in STEM fields underwent in 2018. The author, JR Thorpe, highlights Nobel Prize Laureates, discoveries by women-led NASA teams and the #MeToo movement.
In this article published by the Huffington Post, senior reporter Emily Peck reviews the results of a recent report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. The study focused on the influence of sexual harassment in academia on the career advancement of women in the scientific, technical and medical workforce. One of the main results reported is that the best predictor of sexual harassment is the organizational climate of the company, i.e. the culture cultivated by the organization.
Finally, the American Association of University Women (AAUW) gathered recent data from the U.S. Census Bureau (2017 American Community Survey) in this short summary explaining the current state of gender pay gap. One of the main conclusions of the data analysis is that, although women are as effective as men in negotiating wages, they are paid less across the board, even with advanced degrees.
Wishing everyone a productive, goal-setting January!
