My STEM Best Friend

Women supporting other women can be key to persisting in STEM fields. Mareena Robinson Snowden and Joy Marie Johnson share how their friendship of more than 11 years has helped them navigate their careers, from PhDs at MIT to Apple and working on “nuclear for good” as a Stanton Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Enjoy their insights about ‘finishing well,' the support of providing an appropriate response to meaningful accomplishments, and how there isn’t one universal perspective for women or people of color.
