Workshop for Future Women Faculty: Sept. 2013ATTENTION PHds and Candidates:The University of Michigan College of Engineering has recently established an annual future faculty development workshop for potential women and underrepresented minority faculty members. The first NextProf Workshop in 2012 had a focus on underrepresented minorities. Fifty-three high-potential Ph.D.s, postdocs and Ph.D. students attended, and met with more than 30 current faculty members from Michigan and elsewhere. Participants rated the event extremely favorably.All travel (domestic) and lodging expenses will be paid for the selected participants.For more details and to nominate someone, please visit the website:The deadline for all application materials to be received is June 3, 2013.

American Association of University Women has several presentations with fascinating research. In an era when women are increasingly prominent in medicine, law and business, why are there so few women scientists and engineers? A new research report by AAUW presents compelling evidence that can help to explain this puzzle. Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics presents in-depth yet accessible profiles of eight key research findings that point to environmental and social barriers – including stereotypes, gender bias and the climate of science and engineering departments in colleges and universities – that continue to block women’s participation and progress in science, technology, engineering, and math.
Another great infographic on the contribution of women in technology.
