Undergraduate SME are more likely to continue to grad school if they have an undergrad peer environment and commitment to scientific inquiry. Science is seen as not paying well, having status or authority (men). Women want to make positive changes to society. Deficit model vs. difference model (Sonnert 1995). Climate in SME could be more welcoming to women and accommodate them with stopping or slowing tenure clock, offering child-care or flexible hours. Carefully placing students in internships or mentorships is an important mechanism (Sax 2001).
