Loss for Words: Stories about troubles communicating


Listen Later

In this week’s episode, both of our storytellers struggle to get the right words out.

Part 1: After living with a stutter all her life, Sara Street thinks coding might be the solution to her communication problems.

Part 2: Electrical engineer Anna Fox longs to share her work with her family, but struggles with how to explain it.

Sara Street has lived in Idaho for seven years with her mom and dad after moving from Texas in 2019; however, her hometown is Greensboro, North Carolina. She is now pursuing her undergraduate degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering. She has been very active within the STEM community for the past four years, especially within her school. She served as the Idaho State Secretary for the Technology Student Association (TSA), a student-led STEM CTSO. In her free time, she loves to read and paint.

Anna Fox is a scientist and device fabricator at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder Colorado. Besides working with superconducting integrated circuits, she is an avid biker, rafter, crocheter, and reader.
