Claudia Goldin has amazing research on gendered grade sensitivity in undergraduate Economics. Her work showed that women respond to lower grades in introductory Econ by progressively opting out of the Econ major. Men had no such relationship. I cite this all the time in my work on pathways.

Newish paper with Haowen Zheng (1st author): gender differences in field of study account for about 36% of the segregation of male and female college graduates across occupations.
Implies that 64% is unrelated to field, get-women-in-STEM programs not a panacea.

I was the environmental club founder - we did trash audits of schools to see what they should be recycling and what they could do differently.
I can’t imagine any Bsky early adopter was cool in high school, so what kind of loser were you?
