Joe Cimpian

Congratulations, Dr. King, on an excellent dissertation! 🎉 You have a very bright career ahead of you, and I'm so happy for you! 😀

Finally have that gender neutral title: Dr. King!

Shoutout to my dissertation chair! We did it, Joe (Cimpian) @joecimpian.bsky.social

If you have research dependent on these data here is my suggestion
1/N

Big picture:

Create a dataset of cell means (cells must be big enough to pass disclosure)

- load these cell means into many, many tables & put through review

-These cell means can then be used in OLS - which runs on means

An excellent and timely piece.

A word of advice: Pay attention to the trends reported in the blue box. This is more important than ever... partly because of what is written in the yellow box!

Support data! 📊

Let's keep track of where progress is made! (and lost!)

Women and men earn degrees in some STEM fields at about the same rate now.

But in physics, engineering, & CS, the representation gap is closing at elite schools and widening elsewhere.

This TICS paper turned out to be unexpectedly timely... We could have called it "Why DEI and Merit Go Hand in Hand" given recent developments... Valuing diversity and excellence/merit aren't opposing forces -- they're complementary.

Thanks! And here's the link to the Educational Researcher article this piece is based on: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.3102/...

New paper! @katiemcauliffe.bsky.social + @andreicimpian.bsky.social

Men tend to ask for higher salaries and more promotions for themselves than do women. We examined kids' beliefs about negotiation and how they may contribute to developing gender differences in negotiation

Mark Zuckerberg thinks workplaces need to ‘man up’ − here’s why that’s bad for all employees, no matter their gender Do companies need to embrace a more diesel-fueled, meat-eating mentality? Many already do – and the results aren’t pretty, according to business research.

Dr. Adam Stanaland has a nice piece in @theconversation.com about masculinity in the workplace, discussing a controversial topic with tons of research. It's definitely worth a read--and a share! theconversation.com/mark-zuckerb...

Figure showing rising LGBQ identification among high-school girls from 15% in 2015 to 34% in 2021, and smaller increases among high-school boys, from 6% in 2015 to 9% in 2021. Data Source: YRBS 2015 to 2021, from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Cimpian, J. R., and McQuillan, M. T. (2025), Educational Researcher.

Figure showing rising rates of suicidal ideation, planning, and attempts when looking among all high-school girls 2015 to 2021, in the first row of the figure. The second row of the figure shows that LGBQ-identified girls have higher rates for reporting all outcomes than heterosexual-identified girls. The third row shows that after accounting for the rising LGBQ-identification rates among girls, there is no longer any significant difference in any of the outcomes across the years.

New study with @drmcquillan.bsky.social
- suicidal ideation in HS girls rose, from 23% in 2015 to 29% in 2021
- Girls' LGBQ identification rose 15% -> 34%
To address suicidality, reduce stressors on LGBQ youth, now over 1/3 of HS girls

The hidden STEM gender gap: Why progress at top universities masks a growing crisis Joseph R. Cimpian and Jo R. King examine the widening STEM gender gap at colleges serving lower math achievers.

New @brookings.edu post on the widening gender gap in engineering at computer science at the least selective universities and what it means for women's economic advancement. Co-authored with @joalkhafajiking.bsky.social

"Children, unlike adults, were more lenient toward discriminatory acts." Wow! Younger kids in the study were more ok with doing something mean (e.g., knocking over toys) if the reason given was not liking members of a specific group rather than just not liking the victim. 🤯

Table showing adjusted relative risk ratios (aRR) for transgender vs. cisgender adolescents across school climate, mental health, and social support factors. Three models are displayed: raw (unadjusted), covariate-adjusted, and with potentially invalid observations removed. Factors include bullying, mental health symptoms (depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts/behaviors), and adult support levels. Data includes significant risk differences, with higher risk for transgender adolescents in areas like bullying, self-harm, and lack of adult support.

Sharing recent work that feels especially relevant to the sociopolitical moment.

In a recent research letter published in JAMA Pediatrics (MT McQuillan, JR Cimpian, me, @erinkgill.bsky.social) we show:

School staff provide critical support for trans youth.

Transgender Adolescent School Climate, Mental Health, and Adult Social Support This cross-sectional study describes gender differences in adolescent school climate, health, and social supports, including who depressed or anxious youth seek help from.

This paper by @drmcquillan.bsky.social and @balebo.bsky.social and others, presented at #UCEA24, amplified both the mental health struggles of trans and questioning youth and also how networks of adults in schools are able to uplift and support them. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

An institution-level analysis of gender gaps in STEM over time Gender gaps in engineering and computer science narrow at math-selective schools and widen in others

🔬 Major new findings on STEM gender gaps: Looking across institutions over time, physics, engineering & computer science (PECS) show stark divides—gaps are closing at selective colleges but widening elsewhere. w/ @joalkhafajiking.bsky.social [<--🌟 on the job market 😉] www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
