"Mentoring plays a significant role for gender equality" (#25)

from Made in Science – The official podcast of the University of Stuttgart · host Universität Stuttgart

Iranian Mahsa Taheran is a space systems engineer at the University of Stuttgart. She won the Amelia Earhart Fellowship Award 2022 for her Ph.D., which is valued at USD 10,000. Taheran’s Ph.D. is part of a collective European effort to shift the landscape of astronomical balloons by developing extensible, reusable and adaptive platforms that can fly regularly to operate different instruments and even different telescopes. In the podcast we talk about what it's like to win such an outstanding prize, why Iran has a comparatively high number of women studying engineering and why you need luck as well as strong commitment to be successful.
