There is a significant under-representation of women in STEM which is damaging societal progress for democratic, utilitarian, and equity reasons. However, changing stereotypes in STEM requires a solution denied by the problem — more visible female role models. Science communicators are critical to curate the conditions to bypass this Catch 22. We propose that enhancing self-efficacy for female scientists and engineers to mentor others will generate more supportive workplaces. Similarly, enhancing self-efficacy for public engagement improves the visibility of diverse female role models for young girls. These social connections will ultimately improve the science capital of girls and other minorities in STEM.

第22个要点–提高女性在科学和工程领域的知名度，以进行招聘和留任

在STEM中，女性任职人数严重不足，由于民主，功利主义和平等原因，这正在损害社会进步。但是，要改变STEM中的陈规定型观念，就需要一个解决方案，但这个问题被拒绝了-更明显的女性榜样。科学传播者对于规避绕过这门Catch 22的条件至关重要。我们建议，提高女性科学家和工程师自我指导的自我效能感将产生更多的支持性工作场所。同样，提高公众参与的自我效能感，可以提高年轻女孩各种女性榜样的知名度。这些社会联系将最终改善STEM中女孩和其他少数民族的科学资本。
