Committee on Investigating the Potential Impacts of COVID-19 on the Careers of Women in Academic Science, Engineering, and Medicine; edited by Eve Higginbotham and Maria Lund Dahlberg; National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine The spring of 2020 marked a change in how almost everyone conducted their personal and professional lives, both within science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) and beyond. This book identifies, names, and documents how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the careers of women in academic STEMM during the initial nine-month period since March 2020 and considers how these disruptions—both positive and negative—might shape future progress for women.
