#stem career

I'll go first:

Jurassic Park (1993)

And

For the people that, like me, want to find jobs having a somewhat positive environmental impact but struggle to find out how the fuck to find the right companies:

Did you know there are websites exactly for that? Sorry if that's common knowledge but my depressed solarpunk ass just discovered that that's a thing. So first I found Work on Climate and felt like my (so far non existent) career isn't a completely lost cause.

They basically built a community of people working in climate related jobs or having started companies, they host online events, offer one-on-one sessions with experts to help you learn how your skills are useful in climate (for free!) and collected different resources to find jobs. So through them I then discovered Climatebase which is basically LinkedIn specifically for companies/jobs that work on climate solutions.

They also offer these "fellowships", which are several week programms where you learn about a bunch of different aspects of sustainable development. It looks amazing but is sadly expensive af

I'm about to finish my studies and I was basically just stuck, paralysed at the options of selling my soul working in biopharma or something, simply because they pay well, or rotting away in academia (don't get me wrong, that'd still be an option but it often feels so far removed from any active change).

LOL why are they always in such disbelief? Cause I have pink hair and piercings and I’m good at math?

Although I am sad about the fact that I haven’t been able to write a long form blog post for a while, I am absolutely swamped with thesis work and other responsibilities that I really need to prioritise. So this week, it’s another short post to say...

Happy International Women in Engineering Day!!!

Most of my immediate family are engineers and as a rebellious adolescent I swore I would never become an engineer, taking the biology route instead. However, genetics clearly had their say as here I am, a civil engineer, and absolutely loving it! Here’s to celebrating women in STEM and encouraging young girls to take up a career in an industry that is so often deemed inaccessible or unappealing to them. ✨

Have a great rest of the week!!

Robotics Education is a burgeoning part of future job readiness in those who have a potential to be successful in STEM, particularly in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.

As industries rely more on automation and AI, they need skills in the younger population, urgently.

Robotics gives early learners a hands-on way to engage with complex STEM concepts. It fosters creativity and problem-solving skills.

I always wanted to be an inventor as a kid and I even wrote a letter to Disney Imagineering when I was 9 about an invention idea I had. I want to finally be the me my child self would love to be. I want to be like my childhood heroes:
