题目内容:
Over 130 schoolmates from the Society for Science & the Public’s high school science competitions gathered for a panel (座谈小组) discussion. Hosted by Society President Maya Ajmera, the panel consisted of science professionals and Society schoolmates.
Ajmera started the event by asking the successful women panelists about young scientists faced when entering the professional world.
Hackman, a health policy reporter for the Wall Street Journal, admitted that in following a career inscience, some scientists dislike the long, seemingly dull lab hours when they could follow a job with more“shine”.
About what was hoped for in their career, Angel, who founded Science from Scientists, encouraged the audience to ask themselves, “What influence did I have? What did I leave behind?” She hoped her company, whose task was to help children in grades 4 — 8 develop a love for math and science, will live beyond her. “Even if you help one person,” she reflected, “you have already made a difference”.
As for their support systems, they agreed on the value and support of the family in their professional development, Hackman shared her background as a first generation Iranian American and how her parents who knew little about science had fled the Iranian Revolution. While working with mother to complete herSTS project, Hackman was surprised and grateful because while her mother did not understand the research,her willingness to learn and help made all the difference.
The panelists’ stories and advice surely inspired the younger generations to follow a career in STEM.Ajmera was glad to see the diversity among the panelists and the audience, encouraging everyone tocontinue breaking barriers.
