About the editorial
The WIGSAT editorial covers women in STEM with the working assumption that our readers are intelligent adults making real decisions - parents choosing programs for their daughters, students choosing schools and fellowships, professionals choosing employers and career paths. We aim for honest framing of the trade-offs and clear practical guidance. We don't republish copyrighted material. Where we cite specific programs, organizations, and individuals, we use only publicly available information.
