46. STEM Career Chat with Bioengineer Dr. Georgia Lagoudas

Show Summary:Everyone knows that engineers are nerdy guys with glasses and scientists always have crazy hair! Our STEM Career Chat with bioengineer Dr. Georgia Lagoudas is here to help students break down the stereotypes around STEM careers by showing them that anyone, including them, can be an engineer or scientist! Whether she’s sleeping on snow (not something she was used to having grown up in Texas) or fangirling in an elevator with movie stars and senators, Dr. Lagoudas discusses what it’s like to be a Congressional Science and Technology Policy Fellow and how you don’t necessarily have to narrow your life path down to one fork in the road.Links from the Show:Space Club Career Chats: Dr. Lagoudas <from the Vivify YouTube channel>Georgia Lagoudas, AAAS Congressional Science & Technology Policy FellowFinding Student Sparks: 10 Easy STEM Career Classroom Activities <from the Vivify blog>Learn more about getting your students involved with Space Club here!
