Episode Synopsis "The Myth of the Male Genius"
In our first episode, Dr. Karen Fleming joins Tihitina and Kenny to talk about the "Myth of the Male Genius". Dr. Fleming is a professor in the Johns Hopkins Biophysics department and studies how proteins that are found in cell membranes fold. In addition to her incredible research, she has also been a leader in trying to make STEM a more equitable place for women for which she has been given the Provost’s Prize for Faculty Diversity in 2019. In this episode, we converse with her mainly about the recently released documentary, Picture a Scientist, and the panel she convened to talk about it after it was screened to the Hopkins community. The documentary, itself, chronicles the distressing but also inspiring journeys of three female scientists. We also talk about Dr. Fleming's own journey in being a scientist at Hopkins, what we as undergrads can do to make STEM a more equitable place for women, and much more!
