Her years as a keen observer have taken her from biomedical engineer to inventor to entrepreneur to author, and she is keeping her eyes and mind open for whatever might come next. She liked science, but didn’t picture herself wearing hard hats as a civil engineer like her father. Image Credit : Arlyne Simon.

Scientist, engineer, technologist. Especially for women who work in or close to STEM but are not traditionally trained STEM professionals. Overcoming barriers is something all women in STEM share. Today I ask myself — am I a woman in STEM? What’s missing? And can I tell you…imposter syndrome is real. Absolutely!

Building on an earlier interest in space and spacecraft , I’d gotten very interested in physics, and was trying to read everything I could about it. There were several shelves of physics books at the local bookstore. The other books I’d read had all basically said “physics works like this”. The lambda hyperon.
