WISEcast

One of the episodes that stands out is the 2 part series that features a panel of women talking about their lives in STEM. Another one is an episode that talks about that very 2 part series.

I have really enjoyed all of your podcasts so far and the concept behind this! I was thinking about one of the guests on your show and how she mentioned that we should encourage young girls to learn more about science regardless of whether science is a perceived strength or not. It got me thinking that in addition to encouraging our youth to pursue science, we should also make an effort to Iearn more about the variety of science and education jobs. I remember as a young girl I was only able to name 9 or 10 science-based careers. It would be great to hear about the variety of careers and job opportunities for women in science and education like industrial hygiene, organizational psychology, health physics/radiation safety, aerospace, geology, agricultural sciences, food science science writing, etc. Anyway, thanks for sharing your experiences and trying to help us all navigate this challenging time during the COVID pandemic. I’m looking forward to more great podcasts!

I want to go into a STEM field but I also want to be a mom. This podcast has shown that both are possible! The interviews are incredibly interesting and a great pass time if you have a long car ride ahead of you. It’s good to hear you can homeschool your kids and still be able to work in STEM fields.
