As more and more women enter STEM, Bulbshare talks to industry leaders about the barriers still in place, the benefits of diversifying the industry, and how brands and businesses can encourage more female scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians. Though major milestones are being achieved, with over one million women working in core STEM roles, and women now making up 29% of the workforce, still only 15% of STEM graduates are female, and workplace discrimination is still real.
