Listen "Women in STEM, Environmental Scientist and Researcher in the United States - Social Steps #11"
Episode Synopsis
What's it like to work as an environmental scientist and researcher? Why do we need more women in this field?
I'm highly honored to start a new category called 'Women in STEM'. The main goal is to inspire and empower women to get into science, technology, engineering and math.
I'll speak with women who are pursuing STEM degrees or working in the field and discuss their stories, experiences, challenges they face, goals they have, study and career advice.
To kick off this category, I catch up with the environmental scientist and researcher Matilda Odera. After getting a scholarship, she moved from Kenya to the US to study and set up a successful career in the environmental sector.
Matilda talks about how she managed to go to the US, her challenges as an international student, research experiences in graduate school, funding opportunities for prospective graduate students, the importance of networking and why we need more women in environmental science.
Host:
