Equivalent Too is a podcast for minorities in STEM. Its a place to discuss issues faced by those who are under represented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, whether that be for reasons of gender, race, socio-economic background, neurodiversity, physical ability. All are welcome to normalise the barriers encountered by being differences, so that we can indeed make a positive difference through our differences.

My guest this week, an electrical engineer confessed that working in McDonalds taught her what she really needed to know about dealing with people. We discuss the difference between introverts and extroverts and how the strength and encouragement of her mum was more inspiring than her electrical engineering Dad.
She was never raised to be stereotypical and as a result, has an attitude that the sky is the limit. She has a totally alternative view of the gender divide. Rather than feeling unique and different as a woman in STEM, she expresses compassion for the awkwardness of men around women. She describes how she learned to make the first move.
Her life hasn’t been easy, she suffered major setbacks as a result of her parents divorce, but in everything she always manages to find a silver lining..
In her experience, it’s certainly encouragement and support that keeps women in STEM..
