I'm not going to lie—being a woman in STEM isn't easy, especially in leadership positions where, if you don't have a strong personality, people walk all over you. There are opportunities now, that has changed a lot. But what hasn’t really changed is the people. I've been underestimated so many times, my ideas have been dismissed, and I haven't been given the respect I deserve. I hope that changes someday, and I believe the way to make that happen is by setting an example—by going far and inspiring other women to do the same.

Andrea: el mundo se puede ir al carajo. Basta que tu no dejes de creer en tí aunque todos digan lo contrario.

El grueso del sistema es tal y como lo planteas. El único cambio posible es la adaptación rápida a los cambios para que todos esos que decían siempre lo contrario ahora permanezcan con cara de incrédulos por no aceptar otros puntos de vista o enfoques distintos al del mainstream.

Ojalá poder tener la oportunidad de escuchartr algún día.

this is so accurate.

i have a female counterpart who works in an adjacent discipline - it's frustrating to see her deal with similar issues. i do what i can to give the respect that she's earn; the gentlemen also have to set a better example. thanks for keeping on~! ^^
