Hi ladies, Happy Thursday.
This article popped up on my LinkedIn this morning and I found it a very interesting read.

Despite 45% of STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) students now being women across the US, women still only represent 26% of STEM professionals and 40-50% of those tend to leave their STEM positions after 5-7 years. The article talks how women can be more supported in these roles.
Happy reading!

Thanks for sharing Nicki!
It's things like this that make me very grateful that my entire museum is mostly run by women. We have a male CEO, but every other department head is a woman.
Same. 80-90% of our admin staff is female, and yet the top leaders and half of the department heads are male. I don't interface with them often, but when I do it often feels somewhat combative. Like we don't speak the same language as easily.
