The US National Center for Science and Engineering Statistics (NCSES) regularly conducts national surveys of the US-based PhD- and college-educated populations. These surveys monitor who receives degrees or is working in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and what disparities exist based on sex, race, disability, first-generation status, or income background. Because the official statistics generated by the surveys directly inform national policies and fuel data-driven solutions, the questions they include determine which marginalized groups are made visible and wh ..read more

In 2019, the European Commission launched the European Green Deal (EGD) (1), an ambitious plan to achieve a sustainable economy in Europe. The plan’s goals included protecting and recovering nature, guaranteeing a sustainable food system, and boosting renewable energy capacity. Unlike previous EU strategies, this plan established targeted and time-bound objectives. However, misinformation and lobbying driven by the agriculture sector have led to policy changes that undermine the EU’s ability to achieve these goals ..read more

Much is being made about the erosion of public trust in science. Surveys show a modest decline in the United States from a very high level of trust, but that is seen for other institutions as well. What is apparent from the surveys is that a better ..read more
