Donna J. Nelson

Article Abstract:

Oklahoma University's Associate Professor of Chemistry, Donna J. Nelson's training as a chemist led her to insist on filling out every space in her table for identifying the gender and ethnicity of each person in the top 50 departments nationwide for 14 academic disciplines. Her visual ways of perceiving patterns and understanding the world brought some key information to light, proving that women and minorities are dramatically underrepresented on the science faculties of some of the most prestigious schools in the country.

Shared challenges, shared solutions

Article Abstract:

The idea of addressing shared challenges with shared successful strategies was discussed during an October 2004 conference on undergraduate science education at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI). A group of scientists resolved to disseminate information about current strategies that have successfully educated a diverse array of undergraduates who later pursued PhDs.
