Is S.T.E.M Losing Its Steam Amongst Indian Women ?
There have been many dialogues about women in STEM but nothing like our podcast with the founders of the content platform that showcases women in science called 'The Life of Science' (LoS).
This episode is special as we have Dr. Aparna Shah who is an Assistant Professor at the School of Neuroscience at Virginia Tech. She drives an intelligible conversation with the LoS founders Aashima Dogra and Nandita Jayraj about intersectionality, the
caste obstacle and even how benevolent sexism could be a deterrent for women in India.
Get right into the conversation and share your views. We would love to hear from you.
