Hello, and welcome back to the plasticity podcast where you listen to me spiral while fighting with my cat to get off the key board. This week I discuss what its like being a women in STEM, from the history behind my leading ladies in the lab, current issues that we face in the field and what you can do to promote more girls looking at graphs. This episode does discuss sensitive topics like sexual harrassment and assault, if you are currently struggling with any of these issues there are a number of resources available. Here is an organization that is STEM specific in Canada: WomanACT As per usual, i release a new episode every monday at 7:00 am EST. You can find me on all platforms that you can listen to podcasts and on instagram at @theplasticitypodcast.
