Women and minority women in the United States are facing significant challenges in the field of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, or STEM.
Despite making up nearly half of the U.S. workforce, women only represent 28% of the science and engineering workforce. The representation of minority women is even lower, with Black women making up just 3% and Hispanic women making up just 4% of researchers, doctors, and scientists. “I wasn’t expected to succeed in my career,” said Dr. Annette Khaled PhD and head of the cancer research division at UCF College of Medicine.
Coathup said she felt while in school she always had to be better to get the same recognition as her male counterparts.Now, Coatup heads the bionics cluster working on some of the latest advancements in medicine involving technology and engineering and has seen a positive movement when it comes to minority women in research.
For Black women and Hispanic women, the pay gap is even wider, even though they have the same schooling and training.
