If we’re going to out-innovate and out-educate the rest of the world, we’ve got to open doors for everyone….and that means clearing hurdles for women and girls as they navigate careers in science, technology, engineering and math.

First Lady Michelle Obama

Fact: Women earn 41% of STEM Ph.D.s but only hold 28% of tenure-track faculty positions in those fields. We can do better. I’m inspired by the comments, excitement and interests of my female followers every day.
