RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT

Glass Ceilings, Broken Rungs, and Gummy Floors, Part 2: Women in STEM
Women remain under-represented in high-paying technical and decision-making roles in STEM professions. This disparity is a vexing problem and the Achilles' heel of the entire technology industry. Beneath data in the aggregates lies a nuanced and varied picture—across both the academy and industry—of some breakthroughs worth highlighting and potentially emulating and several barriers that require urgent attention and targeted interventions. Achieving and sustaining gender parity will require concentrated and continuous efforts by decision-makers in academia, industry, and government.
