Even after enjoying her first computer science course, Margaret Lawson wasn’t convinced she’d have a place in the field. But today she works on cloud storage for Google after completing her Ph.D. at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, where she was supported by a Department of Energy Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (DOE CSGF). This conversation was recorded at the Supercomputing meeting (SC22) in Dallas in November 2022, where Margaret co-led a  Birds of a Feather (BoF) session on Ethics in High Performance Computing.
