In the sciences, women continue to be underrepresented despite increased efforts to expose women and girls to the STEM field. According to the U.S. Department of Labor’s Highlights of Women’s Earnings in 2011, women represent only about 46% of workers in life, physical, and social science and earn about 89% of what men in the field earn. In addition, women experience unique challenges throughout their careers and can make missteps during the job search process or in their jobs that could cost them the position, a project, or a promotion. Come learn from our panel of alumna on how they achieved their successes, what challenges they faced along the way, and what special issues you will need to consider as a woman in the sciences!
