Anna from Indiana: Mental Health at Cornell, TA-ing a weed-out computer science course, microaggressions, and why women are not intrinsically inept at STEM (Part 1/2)
I don't take long to start asking the YouTuber, Anna from Indiana what she thinks Cornell's best and worst aspects are. Of course, I bring up Princeton because, you know, the Ivy racket. The conversation quickly evolves so buckle up, if for nothing else but my cringey-ness. In part 2, expect a discussion where we share what she thinks the real value of an Ivy League education is and where I ask Anna the nitty gritty about interning at Amazon, yes Jeff Bezos' Amazon (find out what she thinks the recruiter saw in her, what the workspace looks like, and more). We also talk about why everyone (men and women) should appreciate the potential consequences of female underrepresentation in tech. No, it's not an optics problem.

Precise and/or approximate timestamps:
4:30 The most important lesson Anna learned at Cornell?
6:23 What may have been the hardest time in Anna's life and what Anna and I have in common.
8:00 What would Anna call the worst aspect of Cornell?
9:30 I mention how that worst aspect has not been the case at Princeton.
16:00 What was Anna from Indiana's worst class at Cornell?
20:00 Anna explains teaching a CS (Computer Science) class at Cornell.
25:00 Anna explains a sexist comment made by a female CS TA towards a female CS student.
28:00 How female competition could undermine the evolution of tech.
31:00 We discuss why the departure of women from tech and STEM is unrelated to the claim that women are intrinsically incapable of performing well in STEM. (Spoiler: I bring up actual research.)
