This episode of Her Path to Success is a little different.

While the podcast is centered on amplifying women in STEM, this conversation highlights the importance of mentorship and allyship in creating those opportunities. I sat down with Dr. Mike Mauk to talk about his role in the Women in Neuroscience (WiN) program and how initiatives like WiN are working to support and uplift the next generation of women in science.

We discuss the purpose behind WiN, the impact of mentorship, and why creating inclusive spaces in STEM requires collaboration from everyone—not just those directly represented.

If you're interested in leadership, mentorship, or building more equitable spaces in STEM, this episode offers a really important perspective.
