For women in STEM
Her advice, in three parts.
- 01
Use what you already have
Problem solving, situational management and curiosity are, in her view, the right foundation for a STEM career.
- 02
Make the door wider
More female-applicant scholarships, competitive salaries for women, and hybrid work that supports mothers.
- 03
Show the next generation
Young girls need to see women making decisions and solving problems.
They must demonstrate to their daughters that they can make decisions and solve problems.
Collaborate
Research, speaking, supervision or media.
If it involves quantum AI, cybersecurity or getting more women into both, she would like to hear about it.
