From what we understand about participation by women and minorities, we need to do a better job of exposing people early in their careers to STEM fields.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The STEM fields play an increasingly important role in the U.S. economy, but women are still underrepresented in most STEM sectors.
I think that for a lot of women there's a subtle but unfortunately effective discouragement of women pursuing the STEM fields.
I feel it is now my duty to speak to young women, to encourage them to have careers and, particularly, careers in science.
I think actively promoting women in science is very important because the data has certainly shown that there has been an underrepresentation.
We will have to be very vigilant that young female scientists have the same opportunities as their male colleagues.
We need to create a society where girls and women are getting the same encouragement and support to build their careers as the boys and men are. From the start.
Today, unless women gain jobs and athletic scholarships commensurate with their percentage of the population, feminists scream discrimination.
I really think we need more women to lean into their careers and to be really dedicated to staying in the work force.
It's in everyone's best interest to help close the gender gap in the sciences.
We should prepare our future workforce differently. It isn't just advanced STEM degrees. There are many jobs you can do without advanced degrees.
