worst, gatekeeping many fields, especially some stem fields. bio research, and biotech is one such thing. very difficult if your even lucky to find a lab in your school that has space for volunteering. and i noticed alot professors are extremely reluctant to share info about thier labs for volunteering, must be done before graduation. i dare say it, also its hidden from students knowledge. another development is bio major is mostly geared towards the female student demographic now all the way to grad school too. the ratio is 60%/40% in number of degrees held by woman vs men(for bio), and more of them are getting MS or higher too. right now phd is still legacy of men, but it will soon change.
