Mind the gender gap – and why leap over it
Why do I want to see more women in the field of technology, a field that researchers like me have found to favour men? It's not because misery loves company but because in tech the positives far outweigh the negatives.

Finland's economy and security of supply rely on foreign experts
"There is a growing need for immigrants and foreign skilled workers. The technology industry plays a key role in, for example, the development of artificial intelligence and quantum computing. These fields are already dependent on international experts. When the economy turns upward, this shortage of skilled workers will only deepen," write TEK's Owain Hopeaketo and Barona's Elina Santalahti in today's Vieraskynä in Helsingin Sanomat.

Labore study: Doctors reach high salaries, but slower than before
According to a recent study, people with doctoral degrees still have higher salaries than those with a lower-level degree. However, the labour market has cooled off significantly for doctors since the early 2000s. This can be seen in, for example, slower postdoctoral salary trends and slower salary trends than people with master’s degrees.
