Where Can STEM Take Me?
STEM careers can take you around the world and back again. Find out why these people have ventured to extraordinary places.
Like most things in life, careers don’t always have a clear and straightforward path. Meet Frances Separovic who was from a poor migrant family, dropped out of uni for a while, but retained her curiosity and keenness to learn. Time jump to now, and she’s professor of a chemistry department.
You just never really know what you are capable of, and sometimes you have to follow your nose and just take the opportunities as they happen.
Also in this episode: software engineering student Yu Ting Lin explains skin pigments in Reverse Engineering.
Maybe one day outer space will be just another workplace destination - but before you reach the stars, you’ll need to STEM up.
Explore the range of STEM courses we have on offer by visiting study.unimelb.edu.au.
