Traingle Coalition STEM Conference

Anyone interested in STEM Education Policy should be a member of the Triangle Coalition.  This event is astounding. What a panel of speakers.

There were really too many notable speakers to name them all.  But one person whose work has greatly influenced me after reading her paper is Dr. Andresse St. Rose - who cowrote -
Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

I also had a personal epiphany during the conference.  I believe the more we talk about STEM being a white male dominated field the more harm we do, as we reinforce the idea that it is a scary place for a woman or minority to want to invest years of study.  Rather we should be simply focusing on the rewards of STEM and on each individuals capabilities.  We need to never utter the STEMism of White Male Dominated again. Let it die with the problem and lets just address the solution.
