Dr. Lamiaa El Fassi is an associate professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Mississippi State University, and she has an amazing story to tell. Growing up in Morocco, her family lived very modestly. She lost her Dad, the main support of the family, in her second year of college. The family struggled a lot afterward thus her older sister, who quit her education during middle school to take care of her sick mother, had to look for a job to support her studies. She always loved science and chose to study nuclear physics. What could she do as a nuclear physicist in Morocco? Nothing. Still, she moved to the capital, Rabat, to pursue a master’s degree and hoped for something miraculous to happen and it did.

As a woman in the workforce or lab, it can feel challenging to negotiate for yourself. It can be even more challenging for minorities, people with disabilities, or those who are neurodivergent. Learning how to navigate the biases you may face in advocating for yourself, however, is essential to career growth and satisfaction. According to Sara Sanford, founder and executive director of Gender Equity Now (GEN), the first step is knowing what you are up against.Leverage the power dynamics at play during negotiation by following these tips from Sara Sanford of GEN. Learn why and how to use "tactical empathy," ask collaborative questions, and turn objections into opportunities.

In the Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month Meet Dr. Claudia Espinosa-Garcia, an instructor at Emory University. Witnessing her father overcome a brain disease when she was a child ultimately inspired her to enter neuroimmunology. She is a first-generation college graduate and the only woman in her family with a PhD. She believes women, as minorities across the world, face innumerable barriers in STEM. Years ago, She had no one to guide her or advice when she was lost. Nowadays, it is a privilege for her doing what she loves for a living. Therefore, besides her work in the lab, she is a member of many organizations supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion. For example, AWIS, an organization supporting women success and driving systemic change; SACNAS, a society that aims to further the success of Chicano/Hispanic and Native American students in science. Additionally, she is part of the FALAN networking that promotes relationships between neuroscience researchers in Latin America, the Caribbean, and the rest of the world. She sincerely hopes she can help to those in need.

Twenty years ago, when one of us (E.W.) joined the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Melbourne, Australia, women represented only 13% of the academic staff. By the end of 2017, the figure was still only 16%, despite efforts to bridge the gender gap. For years, women were told by those working in the field that they simply had to be patient as the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce caught up with social movements, and that a new generation of young female engineering and science graduates was coming through. But that hasn’t happened. Despite a small increase in the number of women studying STEM subjects as undergraduates or postgraduates in Australia, female enrolment in these fields was only 36% of the total in 2019. Female representation in science and engineering, especially at the senior level, is still appallingly low. Find out how a one-year recruitment drive led to an unprecedented increase in women faculty across STEM departments at The University of Melbourne.
