Women In STEM Career & Confidence

Chiara is a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellow and Assistant Professor at UvA Institute of Physics as well as an Optica Ambassador. 

In this episode we talk about: 

The importance of trying out new opportunities before committing to them long-term (such as moving countries). 

How our Pusher part gets driven by the need to avoid failure so can result in overcompensating with overworking. 

Separating your career from your identity, ensuring that successes and failures such as winning grants are not attached to your self-worth.

Dr Kat Fish – Client Story

Kat is a Research Fellow at The University of Sheffield. When Kat was diagnosed with endometriosis, she often employed the push through and reactive approach to work, but this came at a cost. When she was diagnosed with a second chronic health condition ME, this strategy (and others she had tried) were no longer working effectively. Her intention for coaching was to find a sustainable way of working in academia with her conditions. As with any chronic health condition, it is a unique journey for that individual. 

In this episode we talk about: 

The major insights she gained from our sessions including a particular pertinent conversation with her Perfectionist on the bathroom floor. 

Making the shift from time to energy management, employing ruthless prioritisation, saying no gracefully, and asking for what you need. Including research from Cal Newport’s book Deep Work. 

Learning how to flex leadership styles to get the result with minimum energy consumption.

Dr Lauren Mullin CLIENT STORY – Part 3 

This is the final part in our three-part series with Dr Lauren Mullin. Just as a reminder, Lauren is Lead Analytical Scientist at Arxada and founder of ChemHerstory blog, which is dedicated to communicating the stories of the lost women in the history of STEM. You will be blown away are the details Lauren shares. 

In this episode we meet: 

Dr. Chien-Shiung Wu (1912-1997) was a Chinese-American physicist who has been referred to as the First Lady of Physics for her contributions to the field. After working on the Manhattan Project, Dr. Wu produced elegant experimental data that refuted a long-held belief in nuclear physics (the law of conservation of parity). This work and its implications were so ground-breaking that it was awarded the Nobel Prize in that same year (1957)--but only to Dr. Wu's collaborators, not to her. Despite this, she continued to conduct stellar research and act as a true leader in science for the rest of her career.

This is the second part in our three-part series with Dr Lauren Mullin. Just as a reminder, Lauren is Lead Analytical Scientist at Arxada and founder of ChemHerstory blog, which is dedicated to communicating the stories of the lost women in the history of STEM. Over the next three episodes we meet one inspirational woman from history and you will be blown away are the details Lauren shares.

In this episode we meet:

Dr. Kamala (Bhagvat) Sohonie (1911-1998) was the first Indian woman to receive a doctorate degree in science (Cambridge University, 1939). Before that, Dr. Sohonie directly challenged her initial rejection based entirely on her gender from a graduate programme in her home country by sitting in protest until finally admitted, paving the way for other woman to study after her. Dr. Sohonie was a biochemist, and her research covered a lot of ground--including improving nutrition for impoverished children and pregnant women.
