We Refuse to be Silenced
When it comes to STEM, women aren’t as present in the field as men, and for a variety of reasons.
GOVERNOR'S
STEM SCHOLARS
New Jersey is where Thomas Edison developed the incandescent light bulb and Albert Einstein delivered lectures on the theory of relativity. Thirteen of the world's 20 largest pharmaceutical companies are headquartered here. New Jersey boasts the biggest concentration of scientists and engineers per square mile in the world.
Yet, New Jersey is the national leader in exporting STEM professionals. The Governor's STEM Scholars works to address this paradox by engaging New Jersey's next thought leaders in a state's vast STEM economy.
