Episode Synopsis

As recently as 2021, more than 30,000 U.S. citizens earned a PhD and yet the demographics of that group do not reflect the U.S. population overall, particularly in the case of science, engineering, technology, and mathematics.

Sloan Foundation about a new report documenting the experiences of Black and Hispanic science PhD candidates in the U.S.
