Who’s quitting academia? Data reveal gender gaps in surprising fields
Even in scientific areas in which women are well represented, they are up to 40% more likely than men to leave research within 20 years.

There are many layers here, but I want to comment on one aspect of these findings for now--the editorial board representation. Some will see this and immediately think: we need to get more POC on our boards! I understand that impulse, but encourage you to think a few steps down the game tree 1/n.

Faculty mentoring in academic institutions, a thread. As I advance in my academic career (read: as I keep getting more gray hair), I've come to appreciate, even more than before, the profound responsibility we (senior-ish faculty) have to support and nurture emerging talent, not diminish it.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but most marine biology research careers do not involve SCUBA diving- which means that, among other things, if you have a medical condition that means you can't SCUBA dive, you don't need to abandon your dream of becoming a marine biologist.

Women faculty feel ‘pushed’ from academia by poor workplace climate
The gender gap in faculty attrition worsens after tenure, according to a new study

4/ First, at every career age, we find that women are more likely to leave than men 👉 gender parity at hiring won’t persist. These empirical rates imply a hypothetical 50-50 cohort would fall to 40% women over 35 yrs — both hiring and retention are critical for achieving parity.

5/ Far from disappearing after tenure, gendered attrition is actually largest among tenured faculty, especially among full professors. Here, we’re showing odds ratios between women and men faculty, adjusting for career age, employer prestige, and PhD training.

9/ First, feeling “pushed out” increased with career age for everyone. But women (STEM & non-STEM) were more likely to feel pushed out & less likely to feel pulled towards better jobs, than men, at every career age – gender was the strongest predictor of feeling pushed vs pulled.
