Gender equality in research publishing is a responsibility for everyone A concerted effort is needed to support women in their choice of journal when submitting their manuscript.

For Nature, women make up around 16% of corresponding authors who submit manuscripts — a percentage unchanged from 2018. Women comprise some 18% of corresponding authors who submit papers to Nature Communications and the Nature-branded research journals.

Five critical steps for building a better future for women in STEM Women in STEM fields remain underrepresented, limiting innovation and growth. Here are some strategies to support a change for the future.

"The journey toward gender equality in STEM is ongoing, but the steps we take today will shape a better future for generations to come. ...we not only enhance the opportunities for women but also enrich the entire STEM community" #WomenInSTEM theceomagazine.com/business/inn...

Who’s quitting academia? Data reveal gender gaps in surprising fields Even in scientific areas in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years.

Dr. Bolu Ajiboye is giving a talk at the Black Excellence in (Neuro)Science symposium. He’s wearing a suit and gesturing with his hands. On the screen behind him is one of his disabled patients using machine-brain-interface technology to allow for independent movement. The audience is captivated by his talk.
