چکیده
Graduate training is a key element in producing scientific workforce that reflects the nation’s diversity. This paper examines data from 2013 American Chemical Society (ACS) survey of 2,544 chemistry masters and doctoral students reveals barriers to reaching this goal. Multivariate statistical analyses indicate women reported significantly less supportive relationships with advisors. Women were likely plan finish their degrees, for PhD students, discrepancy was larger at start graduate program. also pursue next level training, gender difference related postdoctoral plans greater those who identified racial–ethnic group traditionally underrepresented (underrepresented minority, URM). URM beyond first year program peers. They have funding sufficient meet needs more often used personal resources including loans. Despite these difficulties, definitely men as work. Independent identification URMs, highly ranked schools advisor support. Extensive open-ended comments indicated large proportions desired attention meaningful feedback advisors changes within programs promote support accountability. Suggestions future research are given, companion commentary discusses needed directions change.

Multiple orthogonal polynomials are polynomials of one variable that satisfy orthogonality conditions with respect to several measures. They are a very useful extension of orthogonal polynomials and recently received renewed interest because tools have become available to investigate their asymptotic behavior. They appear in rational approximation, number theory, random matrices, integrable sys...
