STEM

Published: Aug. 19, 2021, 10 a.m.

Hey, there! After a tea talk (maracuyá - hibiscus tea by Té La Teresita in a “T” mug) and a life update about where I’m standing with everything, I introduce the topic of STEM with some context and structure. First, I break down STEM in the twenty first century: big tools for big questions, an encouraging environment, and ethics. Secondly, I talk about what I’ve learned from STEM so far: the effort it takes, what the quest for knowledge actually looks like, the collective community, and the bond between STEMees. Thirdly, I talk about women in STEM: how we are under-represented, insecure, and I clarify that I’m not making myself the victim. Lastly, I wrap up with some key takeaways, and my favourites in clothes, candy, and habits before signing off.
