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.
