Most #womeninSTEM remember the first person who made them feel like they were genuinely good at it.

A teacher.
A lecturer.
A friend.
A parent.
Sometimes, even a stranger.

Who saw your potential before you fully saw it yourself, what did they say?

Things I wish I knew before becoming a STEM educator:

• You don't need to know everything.
• Curiosity beats perfection.
• One conversation can change a student's future.
• You'll learn as much as you teach.

Still learning. Still growing. 💙

Before 5G, we had string. 🧵 The humble cup-and-string phone was originally used across factories and homes, forming the literal foundation for modern telephones. Telecomm history is fascinating. What’s the wildest tech evolution you've witnessed?
