Our picks for Feb 9th, 2019

This week we would like to highlight a great podcast episode from the Harvard Business Review recommended to us by a member of the PWN community. In the episode, the host Sarah Green Carmichael discusses the benefits and techniques of how men can mentor women. Associate professor of sociology at the U.S. Naval War College David Smith and professor of psychology at the United States Naval Academy Brad Johnson, authors of "Athena rising: How and why men should mentor women", join the discussion.

In this article published by Inside Higher Ed, author Nick Roll dissects the results of a recent paper published by Georgetown University researchers on factors explaining the low number of women in STEM. They found that it is only the combination of bad grades and environment that drive women who entered a STEM major away from science, not these factors by themselves. 

Stay tuned for our next selection!
