Diversity at 100: Women and underrepresented minorities in the ESA
Minorities also remain woefully underrepresented in the sciences. For example, both the gender and racial composition of the Ecological Society of America remains skewed compared to the overall US population, and leadership and award winners have mostly been white males.

Women in the Workplace: A Research Roundup
HBR – We all expect to be judged on our merits at work—to be recognized for our accomplishments and our unique talents, insights, and efforts. But does that actually happen?
