Sometimes we are scared to be ourselves but the moon is admired for simply being itself. Moon does not change for anybody. Don't worry and never think small. May we all have the courage to be ourselves and shine brightly in the night sky just like the moon. #planetaryscientist #empowerment

"Why fit into a glass slipper, when you can shatter the glass ceiling?" This is quote I came across recently. I have been told, if a girl get good education, have a successful career and become independent nobody would want to be friends with her or be with her. My question was "Why does she have to dumb her self down just so people can accept her?" Why not do what you do, people who care enough will stick around with you and appreciate you for who you are. Why not raise the bar so they can meet you there. I am not working hard to fit in to a glass slipper. I am working hard so I can reject rejection. #womaninstem #youngscientist #planetaryscientist

In my previous post I mentioned that a scientists job is very hard one and is often overlooked especially in a country like Sri Lanka! I say this because if you are an independent scientist like me, doing good scientific research is not the only thing you need to think about. You need to think about your finances (how you are gonna fund your projects), management skills (we juggle more than 1 project), networking, administrative work, teaching responsibilities just to name a few. A career as a scientist is not very popular in Sri Lanka compared to doctor, lawyer, engineer. We work as much as them or harder. I enjoy working with people from various backgrounds/careers. It's unfortunate that people don't know how hard a scientist got to work! Sometimes I work 12/16 hours a day and 7 days a week. But it's ok cuz I enjoy it. It makes it all better when you love what you do! ❤ Keep following, you will know more about me and my life as a scientist. #lifeofascientist @global_mars @buffalostatealumni @buffalostate @bengalsabroad @buffalostateinternationals #TeamPassionLearning #slmars #marslove #marscreate #likeamartian #NASMintern16 #GSAOTFscholar #educator #sciencecommunicator #researcher #hardworker #adventurer #explorer #planetaryscientist #womaninstem #youngscientist #science #stem
