The STEM fields play an increasingly important role in the U.S. economy, but women are still underrepresented in most STEM sectors.

Elizabeth Esty

Whatever the reason, we are not doing a good enough job getting to women early enough in their careers, supporting them, and enabling them to pursue careers in directing.

Donna Langley

I think we do need better training programs, we do need a way to get people from careers that are dead-end into new careers.

Douglas Holtz-Eakin

I think that for a lot of women there's a subtle but unfortunately effective discouragement of women pursuing the STEM fields.

Jennifer Doudna

The barriers to careers in STEM that people of color and traditionally underrepresented groups face need to be broken down.

Jamaal Bowman

The absence of women within STEM programs is not only progressive, it is persistent - despite more than 20 years of programs intended to encourage the participation of girls and women.

Hope Jahren

Women need to understand that it is possible to stay in the workforce. A lot of women decide to take a back seat in their professional careers even before they are pregnant or are ready to have children.

Ruchi Sanghvi

The average person doesn't understand what a stem cell is. There's a lack of health literacy in our nation. So the public can't really get into this dialogue because they don't understand the complexity of stem cells, not the faith-based approach, not the ideological or political, but the science behind stem cells.

Richard Carmona

By highlighting female pioneers in STEM, we can encourage aspiring young women who want to study or work in these fields.

American women mean a great deal to me. They're such lost souls, particularly the women of my generation. And women need so much help. They never have anyone to turn to. I help them understand how they can look better, how to do this, do that, get a job. And they're very trusting. Like little lost kids.

Eileen Ford

All the traditional STEM fields, the science, technology, engineering, and math fields, are stoked when you dream big in an agency such as NASA.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Some jobs pay better, some jobs smell better, and some jobs have no business being treated like careers. But work is never the enemy, regardless of the wage. Because somewhere between the job and the paycheck, there’s still a thing called opportunity, and that’s what people need to pursue.

Mike Rowe

How do we encourage a lot more girls to pursue science, technology, and engineering careers? By casting droves of women in STEM jobs today in movies and on TV.

Geena Davis

By inspiring children to pursue interests in STEM early on, we are instilling in them the curiosity needed to show them that these fields are as equally accessible to them as anyone else.

Jacky Rosen

What we need is to understand that women won't often apply for a job until they're almost 95% qualified. So they tick the box and say, 'If I can't do it all, I can't be qualified.' Men look at the same job, and as long as they get to about 60%, they'll apply.

Jenny Shipley

We need to understand why there is a void of participation in public life from the Muslim community and why it is a growing issue, and we need to understand the impact of this on wider civil society.
