This week on Scilence:  My badass woman in Chemistry challenges me on my use of the word 'selfish'.  We discuss if it's selfish to want, have or not have children.  Having been raised by her grandmother, my guest is determined to break generations worth of limitations and constraints caused by outdated attitudes towards women.  

My guest arrives at her own conclusions, of focussing on what she wants out of life, working hard; living with uncertainty and enjoying what she does.  My chemist admits that she is a highly emotional being, and it's her emotions that have influenced the career choices she has made.  But they have also shown her that she cares very much about making an impact through STEM.
