Who's next? [and are we missing anybody in the list above?]

Here's a recent article on , co-authored by Tech's own Kim Cobb, Jen Glass, and Minda Monteagudo.

#GeoGRExit: Why Geosciences Programs Are Dropping the GRE - Eos Geoscience graduate programs are increasingly abandoning the controversial test as an admissions requirement, a welcome development for equity and inclusion in the field. How can your school be next?

The data are in: women 1st-authored papers are down substantially during the pandemic. How can Georgia Tech mitigate the long-term damage of this trend on hiring, promotion, and tenure?

Pandemic lockdown holding back female academics, data show Unequal childcare burden blamed for fall in share of published research by women since schools shut, but funding bodies look to alleviate career impact

As part of our ongoing efforts to promote gender diversity and advance gender equity using data and an evidence-based approach, we are preparing a new global gender and research report. The new report is scheduled to be released in early March 2020.

Our new report will examine gender in research participation, career progression and collaboration networks using robust data and analytics. Moreover, it will include a qualitative investigation of perceptions of gender in research.

Please save this date for our Washington, DC launch event where we will share the report findings and hear from experts on gender issues in research.
