Video details
As an immigrant with limited socioeconomic capital, a person of color, and a woman in science, my identity lies at the intersection of several groups historically underrepresented in STEM innovation and academia. Education and mentorship is what separated my fate from many of the people I grew up with, who were just as talented and hard-working but never had access to the same opportunities. Even while efforts to recruit women and underrepresented minorities have met with some success at the undergraduate and graduate level, the lack of social support groups and minimal guidance on future career preparation lower their retention in STEM careers. My experiences have helped me form and lead efforts to support the retention and promotion of minority groups in STEM. This talk will highlight a few initiatives designed to empower women in STEM, including the AAAS IF/THEN ambassadors program and the Women in Innovation and STEM Database at MIT (WISDM), and outline best practices for supporting the next generation of diverse young scientists.
