As we close out Season 1 of STEMinism Unfiltered, we take a step back to reflect on what we’ve heard and what we’ve learned.
Over the past few episodes, we’ve shared stories from women across academia and industry, uncovering the systemic challenges that continue to shape the experiences of women in STEM. In this final episode, we turn inward to talk about what it means to navigate these systems with intention, and how self-advocacy and community can be powerful tools for change.
We discuss:
The importance of understanding the system you’re working in
Lessons we’ve learned the hard way, from missed red flags to unequal team dynamics
How to advocate for yourself and others, especially early in your career
The value of building a “village” of support, and why it should evolve over time
We’ll recount advice from a brilliant Ph.D. student who shares a fresh perspective on cultivating networks, and we reflect on how our own paths might have looked different had we known then what we know now.
This episode is about growth, resilience, and the power of community. Thank you for being part of Season 1.
