Coronavirus Is Not a “Chinese Virus”
All anybody can talk about, even think about, is corona virus, COVID 19, the novel disease that has overwhelmed the world and brought human interaction to a hard stop. Calling it “the Chinese virus” only worsens the situation. Regardless of whether it is deemed “racist,” the persistent use of the term even after protests, is problematic. It only harms our efforts to control the spread of illness by adding animosity to the air.

How Can We Close the STEM Gender Gap Before Another Century Passes?
As we head into a new decade, we are tasked with preparing engineers and computer scientists to lead a transforming workforce. Ultimately, employers will search for workers who thrive on multi-disciplinary teams that prioritize collaboration and disruption. The question then becomes: How do we fill the need for a larger, higher-skilled engineering and technology workforce? We must widen the pipeline to include people from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields.
