For instance, in the social sciences, women hold an impressive 64% share of the workforce. STEM careers form the bulk of what drives the United States economy toward innovation and fuels our ability to be a contender on the world stage. Women have gained a substantial foothold within certain categories of STEM careers.

Oceans are a key part of the Earth’s climate system, responsible for transporting heat and storing carbon from the atmosphere, and several large ocean current systems contribute to this. This is partly responsible for Europe having a warm climate, as the AMOC transports up to 25% of the Northern Hemisphere’s atmospheric and oceanic heat.

Because computational methods originated in the natural sciences, some disciplines, such as chemistry and physics, have lots of research software at their disposal. This will increase the opportunities for RSEs and allow them to develop new and innovative software for more research areas.

Over the years that followed there were all sorts of engineering innovations that increased the efficiency of steam engines. Already the steam-engine works our mines, impels our ships, excavates our ports and our rivers, forges iron, fashions wood, grinds grain, spins and weaves our cloths, transports the heaviest burdens, etc.

What if the innovations and discoveries just don’t matter, say to us humans? Well, we have natural language—probably the single most important innovation in the history of our species. We’ll be able to say some things—though perhaps in ways that are closer to psychology or social science than to traditional exact science.

Ed was a serious (and, by all reports, exceptionally good) pilot—with an airplane transport pilot license (plus seaplane and glider licenses). Gliders are usually transported with their wings removed, with the wings attached in order to fly. But things didn’t go well and it wasn’t long before Ed stepped down from his role.
