In my last post, I began sharing the story of my life as an outlier—a Latina woman who became an engineer in a male-dominated field—to

I’d like to share my story with you so that you can understand my passion for entrepreneurial learning. I am an outlier: a female scientist

Your brain can change. It can grow. You can develop new abilities to do things you never thought possible. At VentureLab, we begin each entrepreneurial course

In my last post, I explored how some researchers are trying to present evidence of gender differences to teachers and parents that can help them

At one time, even hinting at the existence of any innate differences between girls and boys could make one a target of chauvinism. It was

It’s essential to instill confidence in girls and reassure them that they can flourish despite inherent gender biases.

Things are changing, if slowly, for women, in science and technology. Women make up just 4% of partners at venture capital firms, and about 20%

It’s not news that gender bias persists at U.S. universities, especially in the sciences. What’s surprising is how long-lasting and pervasive this bias is. Even

The choices girls make in their academic lives will have profound effects on their careers. This is true of everyone, of course, but for girls

Girls begin their education with the same potential as boys, but by the end of high school, their excitement and potential in sciences has been

While opportunities in technology have exploded since 2000, fewer women today are actually pursuing computer science degrees than in the 1970s and 1980s, when women

If anyone doubts that young women face discouragement because of their gender, consider Barbara Barres, who was a prominent female neurobiologist at Stanford University. Early
