There is a great deal of research about women and girls in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Many groups study and counter-act gender bias in academia and the work-force.
SWEEET is compiling a list of recent peer-reviewed research and agency reports about these issues (see the drop-down menus above). Examples include primary and secondary research about implicit or explicit gender biases, biological differences between the sexes, the importance of mentorship, the influence of societal stereotypes on girls, and work-life balance. Implementing recommendations from this research can address and alleviate the "leaky pipeline" -- the effect whereby women at increasingly senior levels drop out of STEM careers.
