User:HP0311/Evaluate an Article

Which article are you evaluating?
The article I am evaluating is Beyond Bias and Barriers.

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose to evaluate this article because it correlates to the topics we are learning in class. It is about how women in STEM are discriminated against in academia and the workplace. This topic matters because men are seen as the default in STEM careers even though many women are involved in STEM. Women and men (and other marginalized groups) should be treated as equals, and this article helps to bring light to this situation.
