Breaking Barriers in STEM: A Conversation with Ms. Nudelman, Founder of Women in Neuroscience

In this episode, I sit down with Ms. Nudelman, founder of Women in Neuroscience (WiN), whose story spans over seven decades of courage, innovation, and advocacy. From being one of the top math students in her high school during the 1950s, to navigating discrimination in the workplace, to pioneering technical roles for women at IBM, Judi’s journey is both inspiring and deeply human.We talk about her early dreams in theater, her bold career pivots, her experience as a caregiver for her husband with a neurodegenerative disease, and the legacy she’s building through WIN. Judi’s story reminds us that resilience and mentorship can change not just individual lives, but entire fields.Whether you’re a student, a researcher, or simply someone who cares about gender equity in STEM, this conversation will leave you inspired to keep pushing boundaries.
