A study led by a Georgia Tech researcher analyzing more than a century of climate science publications has found that women in the field are just as productive and successful as their male peers. However, they tend to have shorter careers and therefore fewer total publications.
According to the study, women are 90% as likely as men to maintain their careers.
Approved by the Board of Regents in 2017, the B.S. in Neuroscience program is one of Georgia Tech’s fastest-growing majors with more than 500 students enrolled in 2024.
