Queer in STEM in Nature News

Marla Broadfoot has a very nice article in Nature News about the results reported in our newly published paper.

The results indicated that the majority of the respondents (57%) were out to half or more of their colleagues, a greater proportion than the 47% of people who said they were out in a 2014 survey of the general US workforce by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation in Washington DC.

Broadfoot includes quotes from Jeremy and from Kristen Renn, who has done important research on the experiences of minority students in higher education. Go read the whole thing.
