In 2014, an interdisciplinary group of researchers at Dartmouth College, University of Buffalo, and Carnegie Mellon University came together to combat gender disparity in the sciences. Together these three principal investigators began the Interactive Narrative Technology to Reduce Implicit Negative Stereotyping and Improve the Climate in STEM for Underrepresented Students (INTRINSICS) Project. They set out to accomplish this goal by designing interactive experiences and leveraging breakthrough technology to support the development of and combat biases against women in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. This book serves as a document of their innovative research, study findings, and outlines interventions and prototypes that can be used by educators to reduce the impact of bias in the classroom.

When Sylvester brings over sister Blanche to look after Adèle, he is not prepared for the love between them nor their escape from him. He takes his revenge.Moving between Blanche's life with Adèle and Celia's search for clues into that life, the stories converge in Bez where the three friends discover Blanche's existence and Adèle's true, if unbelievable, identity. The effects of the revelation are shattering-Adèle's erotic power extends beyond the grave, melding past and present into a single reality.
