You can read for free the comics I made last year with the Sci_All organization, about the origin stories of six AAAS IF/THEN Ambassadors® in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). All the six comics can be found here: https://sciall.org/projects/ #comics #science #DiversifySTEM #stem #physics #cartoons #womeninstem

Thank you. I wish my lecturers focused on actually EXPLAINing what was happening instead of just babbling nonsense at me, like an unsuccessful years-long immersion / torture program.

I wanted to be a physicist. Thankfully, I had supportive parents who encouraged me in STEM, and I even got to play with a high-powered 80s laser on an optics table at WSU. That project got me first place in the science fair.

But I, too, got these confusing messages, not just from the LDS church but ALSO from my parents. I could be anything I wanted to be, as long as it was a stay at home mom. When I visited the BYU physics dept, the wall of photos were 98% men.

So I entered college terrified, recently married, directionless, and soon pregnant. I would eventually have a 15-year fallback career in IT... as a struggling single parent.

Abby: 'Looking back on that moment now I think, “Oh my gosh, that wasn’t divine revelation! You’d just had seventeen lessons in a row about how you needed to get married and make babies, and your brain was finally giving in to the overwhelming pressure.”'

Kattelin tossa lämpimikseni Erasmuksen "Digital Opportunities Traineeship"- paikkoja opiskelijoille, jotka tahtoisivat suorittaa työharjoittelujakson ulkomailla.
Sieltä löytyikin aika paljon tarjontaa, joissa mulla olis osaamista, mutta jännästi näyttää siltä, ettei nää olekaan meikäläiselle suunnattu. 🤔
