Overuse of electronic devices is no “LOL” matter, according to researchers, who suggest that excessive interaction with e-devices may be related to weaker activity in areas of the brain that are key to understanding scientific texts.
PARS is an all-female workshop led by clinicians, scientists, and medical students for high school students interested in exploring the world of health care and medicine, particularly reproductive science.
Foreign-born Ph.D. graduates with science and engineering degrees from American universities apply to and receive offers for technology startup jobs at the same rate as U.S. citizens, but are only half as likely to actually work at fledgling companies, a Cornell University study has found.
The Biophysical Society (BPS) is proud to add its name and support to the Societies Consortium on Sexual Harassment in STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine) to measurably advance professional and ethical conduct, climate and culture across their respective fields.
The American Cleaning Institute (ACI) has enhanced and expanded its “Exploration Clean” online experience to further help teach middle-school students the science and chemistry behind cleaning.
A new study demonstrates that increasing class size has the largest negative impact on female participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) classrooms, and offers insights on ways to change the trend.
As technology and science continue to play an even greater role in everyday lives, training and developing the next wave of scientists needs to evolve. Noncognitive factors and new strategies to more fully engage each student and promote an inclusive classroom are being considered for improved learning experiences in STEM courses. During the 69th ACA meeting, July 20-24, Bernie Santarsiero, University of Illinois at Chicago, will talk about how resources other than remedial training can foster significant improvements in successful student outcomes.
Nine West Virginia students starting college this fall attended an immersive, on-campus STEM research camp. It's part of an NSF INCLUDES grant to improve college enrollment and retention rates of first-generation rural STEM majors.
West Virginia University physicists received a $2 million federal grant to create a plasma physics research. It will be the only facility in the world capable of making detailed three-dimensional measurements of the motion of ions and electrons at kinetic scales.
The New Jersey Governor’s School of Engineering and Technology at Rutgers–New Brunswick , a tuition-free, summer residential program for high-achieving high school juniors interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) subjects, will host its 2019 research symposium on Friday, July 26.
Quest, PPPL's annual research magazine, profiles laboratory achievements over the past year.
2010 Wichita State University graduate, entrepreneur, and mother, Emilee Palomino is empowering girls allover the world through her brand, Smarty Girl. This brand makes STEM designed leggingsfor girls, such as airplanes, robots, chemistry, dinosaurs, and more.
Six CSU campuses will receive a combined $7.5 million to reimagine online courses in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields: Fullerton, Humboldt, Los Angeles, San Luis Obispo, San Marcos and Sonoma. The awards are issued by the California Education Learning Lab, a new grant-making program administered by the state that is intended to close equity and achievement gaps in STEM and other disciplines.
ISPOR, the professional society for health economics and outcomes research (HEOR), held a session for its Women in HEOR initiative yesterday late afternoon at its ISPOR 2019 annual conference in New Orleans, LA, USA.
