In honor of Women’s History Month, we’ll focus on the experiences of women in STEM, from their support systems (or lack thereof) to their representation in media; from the decisions they face when it comes to whether or not to start a family, to the discrimination and expectations they face on a daily basis in academia.

Joining us to share her experiences, we have Alexandra Ambrico, a Science Communication Masters student from Stony Brook University. Her focus in her master’s work is women in STEM, specifically looking at representation and role models for young girls and how this affects their interest in and pursuit of STEM careers.
