Mar 8, 2022 by Eumin Lee
What challenges are women facing when it comes to inclusion within STEM? From an early age, women across the globe are not provided as many opportunities as their male counterparts. Many of these missed opportunities have generally been based in biases and myths, including the idea that women are unfit for STEM careers for a myriad of outrageous reasons.
