Project Root to STEM
Project Root to STEM
Podcast Description
My name is Fiona Schweig, and I'm working on a project to help inspire female-identifying students to get into STEM and to try to narrow the gender gaps in these fields. In each episode, I interview a new, inspiring woman in STEM. I believe that by connecting students to positive female role models, we can create a new generation of female scientists, mathematicians, and engineers who will lead the way to an equal future. This project is for my Girl Scouts Gold Award.

Today I spoke to Suzan Mazor, a pediatric emergency doctor and medical toxicologist who is studying trends in the demographics of children who accidentally get into opioids. We talk about her work in emergency medicine and finding your people.
