  • Scilence 13 Physics & CONFIDENCE

    In this weeks episode:  My guest infects me with the positivity bug, as she raves on about her insaitable love of learning.  Being an oblivious kid, she was always clueless about being in a minority as a female in physics.  I suspect she had a huge amount of encouragement and support from friends and family to follow her passions.  As a result, she built up healthy levels of self-confidence and courage to ask questions and find out more.  Knowing that people-pleasing gets her nowhere and failure is useful!

  • Scilence 12 Neuroscience & ASKING FOR HELP

    This week on Scilence, my guest (a neuroscientist), discusses the importance of encouragement and support.  This woman in STEM talks about the courage it took for her to get a mentor.  Interestingly, she believes there are many mentors out there, but our fear of rejection stops us from seeking them.  Being of ethnic minority, herself, she stresses the need for belonging. And on the subject of having it all - she feels its possible, but maybe not all at the same time.
