|content=What we need is a multi-decade  [[Labor Shortages|“labor shortage”]] in STEM that brings technical employers howling in pain about employee wage demands. Family demands. Maternal demands.
The answer is simple: in STEM the wrong people are in pain. It should be our beloved administrators & employers.

|content=This is the elephant in the lab.
 
A secret reason (which we collected anonymously multiple times at NBER/ASCB) for delaying tenure decisions beyond healthy fertility is departmental fear of committing to top women in research for fear they will find motherhood more fulfilling.

|content=You can blame the Principal Investigators who told us this (both male & female). You can blame the universities. You can blame the messenger. But we need to talk about getting STEM moms a LOT more money for help in the house & make more allowances for staying home for 5-10 years.

|content=And yes, Dads can be more present. But before you go too far down that road, consider that some of the STEM women we spoke to said that they would have WANTED to be at home, particularly with little children (<7) and what they really wanted was a way back to research afterwards.

|content=We’ve been lying about a shortage of scientists continuously since Sputnik. We have too many scientists relative to our anemic level of interest in paying for the basic research that created our modern economy.
 
Why do we believe a &gt;60YO lie? Because of who tells it.
 
Scientists.

|content=The tweet quoted was apparently deleted. It asked why scientists would want to glut their own market and drive wages down. The answer is that we glut the bottom of the pyramid and make sure that those people used to glut the entry never reach the top of the pyramid to compete.

|content=We train undergraduates in STEM. That gives science professors a salary. Then as graduate students, profs make them teach &amp; do their research work while denying they’re workers. Then as post-docs we ‘apprentice’ them for more extraction.
 
Then after multiple PDs we push them out.

|content=Want to follow an unsung hero?
 
Norm has been fighting the lies of the academy as a STEM professor for years. There were times in the ‘90s when it felt like he and I plus 2 folks at the Sloan foundation were the only STEM PhDs who hadn’t been zombified by the STEM shortage myth.

|content=Some years ago, some grad students sued UC, claiming they were workers. Then someone from my campus administration ordered faculty to disagree. Yes, you read this right. Of course, we just ignored them.
