Editorial: Applications of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) Tools in Microbiology of Infectious Diseases

Epidemiology is a discipline intended to systematically investigate, and ideally quantify, disease dynamics in populations (Perez, 2015). Epidemiological assessments may be divided into four large areas, namely, (a) identification and characterization of a pathogen, (b) development of systems for detection of cases, (c) descriptive epidemiology and quantification of disease patterns, and (d) ad...

Women’s Leadership in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics:

Despite gains overall, women are still under-represented in leadership positions in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. Data in the US suggest around onequarter of deans and department heads are women; in science this drops to nearly 1 in 20. Part of this problem of under-representation stems from the population pool: only 33% of science and engineering doctorate ho...

Creative Writing in Mathematics and Science

Mathematics and science more usualy reach the general public through journalism, popularizations, fiction, biographies, plays, poems, and other forms of literary writing. Our workshop series, Creative Writing in Mathematics and Science, aims to create a critical yet supportive community of writers who share this goal. Like the first four highly successful BIRS workshops of this title, we brough...
