5 -Podcast: How to Close the Gender Gap in STEM Careers

This podcast is a recommendation for a specific episode rather than an entire series (though you can check out the other episodes too – but start with this one).

The two successful STEM women share ideas for how we can close the gender gap in STEM careers going forward.
