The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, June 6, 2018:
Institutional support at all levels is key to transforming the climate of everyday campus life.
AAMC CFAS News, June 8, 2018:
Nature discussed how to make an institution more diverse and featured commentary from six researchers with varying levels of administrative responsibility.
Fast Company, June 10, 2018:
Here's how to design leadership development in a way that will actually work.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, June 11, 2018:
A new database of female historians joins a growing group of lists that aim to promote a more diverse group of experts.
In hiring senior leaders, "trust the process" is a mantra that many campus groups have trouble following.
Inside Higher Ed, June 12, 2018:
Study says editors of major political science journals demonstrate no systematic bias against female authors. Yet women authors remain underrepresented in the field. Why?
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, June 12, 2018:
A recent research brief repeats long-known findings. Systemic change, scholars say, is the only way to make progress.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, June 13, 2018:
A new report from the National Academy of Sciences comes as the organization debates whether to expel members who commit sexual misconduct.
Forbes, June 14, 2018:
My special focus when coaching female leaders is to improve their influence and impact skills-in short, their leadership presence.
You might be surprised to find that leadership presence is not an attribute automatically assigned to you because of your business results. Nor is it necessarily reflective of your true qualities and potential. Instead, it depends almost entirely on how others perceive you. And that, in turn, depends primarily on how favorably you impress people and how convincingly you deliver your messages, both verbally and non-verbally.
Harvard Business Review, June 15, 2018:
Women who have already made it to the top say that the only person who will get you there is yourself.
While many researchers and observers have examined the structural and other barriers that limit women's progress through the ranks, we wanted to explore a different question: how have the few women who have made it to the very top overcome those barriers? Our aim was to discover how female CEOs explain their own success, and to develop recommendations for supporting women's leadership careers more generally.
AAMC CFAS News, June 15, 2018:
The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released a report this week, "Sexual Harassment of Women: Climate, Culture, and Consequences in Academic Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine," describing the biases and barriers-particularly sexual harassment-women face in the sciences. In its coverage of the report, STAT notes that sexual harassment is rampant in academic science and medicine, with no evidence that current policies are sufficient to halt the trend. The report covers surveys from two years of research into harassment in higher education, finding that the issue is more common in engineering and medical settings than non-STEM fields, with nearly half of female medical students reporting they were harassed by faculty or staff.
The AAMC issued a statement regarding the report. "Sexual harassment has no place in medical schools, teaching hospitals, and biomedical research. The AAMC strongly encourages our member institutions to review the findings and recommendations as they work to promote a culture of inclusiveness and respect across the academic medicine and biomedical research communities," said Darrell G. Kirch, MD, AAMC president and CEO.
The New York Times also offers an analysis of the National Academies' report, as does the Washington Post, which includes several perspectives from academia.
Women physicians have been particularly vocal on social media about aspects of their professional lives, including work-life balance, and the virtual discussions have raised awareness of gender parity issues in medicine, says an article in NEJM by Sasha Shillcut, MD, associate professor and cardiac anesthesiologist at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, and Julie Silver, MD, associate professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School.
Fast Company, June 18, 2018:
You can't always predict the consequences of your decisions, but you can ask questions to gain a better understanding of what's right for you.
The Chronicle of Higher Education, Academe Today, June 19, 2018:
To be effective in senior administration, you have to think about the how of communication delivery, not just the what.
Inside Higher Ed, June 19, 2018:
Study finds recommendation letters for academic jobs signal doubt about female applicants more than they do for men, with real, negative effects on their job chances.
Harvard Business Review, June 19, 2018:
For over 25 years, women have made up at least 40% of U.S. medical students. This past year, more women than men were enrolled in U.S. medical schools. Yet overall women make up only 34% of physicians in the U.S., and gender parity is still not reflected in medical leadership. Women account for only 18% of hospital CEOs and 16% of all deans and department chairs in the U.S.-positions that typically direct the mission and control the resources at medical centers. Women are also in the minority when it comes to senior authorship (10%) and Editors-In-Chief (7%) at prestigious medical journals.

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern gave birth to a baby, a girl, on Thursday.
Ardern, age 37, is just the second elected world leader to give birth while in office, and the first in nearly three decades to do so. The last leader to have a baby while in office was Benazir Bhutto, then prime minister of Pakistan, in 1990.
