GWIS Empower provides career and leadership advice for women in science, with member-generated content. This issue showcases how women in science can support and empower each other, and how science supports the importance of DEI efforts in schools, workplaces and society. Listen to a conversation with Dr. Ching Chang, a leader in biotech innovations, on the GWIS podcast. The 2025 GWIS National Conference is held in Saint Louis, MO on June 19-21; register now! Finally, we feature the Sony Women in Technology award (due May 30).

Behind every great woman in science, there’s another great woman in science

The number of women now entering science, technology, engineering and mathematics and medicine (STEMM) careers is growing at a faster rate than that of men. And although women still account for only about 35% of the STEMM workforce, research has shown that they are more likely to excel when given access to mentoring, support and guidance from other women with similar lived experiences. Read six stories of female scientists recognizing other female scientists for their contributions to research and support for other women in the sciences.
