Excited to speak with @KristenBerset@wusa9 Wednesday at 9-10am. Tune in or look for video post. We will discuss how we provide easy access to and a regular cadence of STEM educational opportunities through a range of programs and initiatives for girls to promote STEM careers .
‘As researchers, you tend to be researching questions that no one knows the answers to. We’re all kind of explorers, and that is so exciting and so much fun. It’s an amazing feeling to get a result.’ One of our panelists @maniermk talks about what she enjoys about her #STEM job
One of our panelists, Michelle Brown, tells our young audience that if they are not sure about what they want to do, an education with a liberal arts focus provided her with a great foundation for her #STEM career
Be open to all opportunities. Dr. Marian McKee shares how her first job in a lab, cleaning rat cages, gave her exposure to the field of science and enabled her to make connections with people and learn more about a career in science. #STEM#STEMcareers
Our roundtables are underway! Our attendees have the opportunity to speak firsthand with students studying #STEM to learn more about their educational path and experience
The 3 key pieces of advice our panelists offered our young, female audience today: ignore the voice in your head that says you can’t do it, be willing to fail and get back up, and don’t be afraid to ask questions and seek a mentor. #STEM#GirlsInSTEM
As we wrap up, some of our PhD students share how they’re able to overcome the stresses of school by designating a time to relax and meditate, engage in physical exercise, socialize with friends, and clear their heads. #STEMed
