Ken Houk of UCLA and Cynthia Friend of Harvard University are supported by the NSF Chemistry Division's Special Projects Office to organize a workshop on "Tapping the Female Talent Pool for Academic Chemistry." The workshop will (1) discuss and document the shortage of women in academic chemistry and the need for more women on chemistry faculties; (2) enable sharing among participants of proven means for attracting women into academic chemistry careers; and (3) explore new ways to draw women to chemistry faculties at major research institutions in the U.S.Chemistry departments continue to have low numbers of female faculty members despite considerable increases in recent undergraduate and doctorate chemistry degrees to women (currently about 50% and 33 %, respectively). The workshop will present evidence that research and teaching are improved when academic chemistry faculties come from a larger and more diverse talent pool. The workshop is viewed as having potentially broad impact not only within chemistry, but other disciplines as well.

加州大学洛杉矶分校的Ken Houk和哈佛大学的Cynthia Friend得到了美国国家科学基金会化学部特别项目办公室的支持，组织了一个关于“挖掘女性学术化学人才库”的研讨会。研讨会将(1)讨论和记录大学化学中女性的短缺和化学学院对更多女性的需求；(2)使与会者能够分享吸引女性进入学术化学事业的成熟方法；以及(3)探索吸引女性进入美国主要研究机构化学学院的新方法。尽管最近化学本科生和博士学位的女性比例大幅上升(目前分别约为50%和33%)，但美国化学系的女性教员人数仍然很少。研讨会将提供证据，证明当学术化学教师来自更大和更多样化的人才库时，研究和教学都会得到改善。这次研讨会被认为不仅在化学领域，而且在其他学科也有潜在的广泛影响。
