Space, Selfies, and STEM: Who Really Wins?

In this episode, Michelle and Samah catch up after a busy stretch filled with job changes, travels, and community events. They dive into a timely conversation about a Blue Origin spaceflight featuring an all-women crew, including celebrities like Katy Perry and Gayle King. While the mission is framed as a milestone for women, Michelle and Samah reflect critically on what it means for women in STEM and tech spaces. They discuss representation, meaningful progress, and whether space tourism like this truly inspires the next generation of women scientists or makes headlines. The episode closes with a look ahead to upcoming inclusion-focused events (Work Pride) and WordCamp Europe.
