Let’s discuss something that’s not often talked about—gender representation in STEM (Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields. It’s no secret that women are often underrepresented and undervalued in these fields. Even though women have made significant contributions to STEM research, their achievements frequently get overshadowed. This leads to some serious biases that can mess with career progression and opportunities. So, it’s crucial that we understand and tackle these biases to create a more inclusive and progressive scientific community.
