The gender gap in computing performance has dramatically narrowed, but a confidence gap remains.

For decades, scientists believed that only male birds sang. Then women entered the field and showed what their predecessors had missed.

Diversifying leadership can change organizational cultures, which removes barriers to women in the tech industry and academia.

An initiative seeks to make scientists and their work more relatable to young students to promote STEM diversity.

Women with better grades are still less likely to major in physics, engineering, and computer science, whereas less-qualified men are jumping in, find researchers.

STEM students from underrepresented groups consistently get lower grades in intro chemistry courses, research finds. That gap has major consequences.

Women are underrepresented in technology fields, but especially so in cybersecurity. It's not just a matter of fairness. Women are better than men at key aspects of keeping the internet safe.

Telling children to "be a scientist" can backfire. There's a better way to say it, research finds.

US computer science students beat those in India, China, and Russia when competing head-to-head, a new study shows.
