Being a Woman in STEMM is a challenge. Being a Mother in STEMM brings even more difficulties. But challenges are meant to be overcome — motherhood should not be a barrier to success in STEMM.

Dr. Yue (Christina) Wang is a RAEng Research Fellow in the Department of Physics at the University of York, and a mother to two children. She discusses how she has successfully balanced becoming a mother with her ongoing career in academia, including her experiences of maternity, the systems of support she has found, and what still needs to change to help mothers unleash their full scientific potential.
