Women make up more than half the U.S. population, yet are significantly outnumbered by men in STEM-related fields in college, and constitute only a third of the STEM workforce, with some industries showing much less representation than others. While STEM opportunities continue to grow and gain popularity, the number of women in fields such as computer science, engineering, and math have yet to see an upward shift.

However, five phenomenal NNSA women have risen above the challenge. They’re setting a new standard and forging an atypical path that other women and girls can look to for inspiration in STEM.
