In honor of my grandmother’s birthday last Thursday, I wrote about Grandma Got STEM, a blog that collects stories of older women in science careers.
Some have had illustrious careers as top-level researchers makingmajor breakthroughs, and some are teachers and lab technicians. I think it’s really important to highlight the contributions of women in all sorts of science and technology careers, not just the few who end up winning Nobel Prizes, and that’s one of the things I particularly appreciate about this blog.
The sheer number of posts on the blog is a reminder that while women are still not equally represented in most STEM careers, there are an awful lot of us out there, and there have been for a long time. I also love the multi-generational entries, including one about a STEM grandmother whose grandmother was also in STEM!
