Section 3: The Rabbit Took a Watch Out of His Waistcoat
Looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
Hear from successful women in STEM.
Women are transforming the future of NASA and the space program at large - the most recent astronaut class in 2017 was 45% female. So how do these pioneering women thrive in a male dominated field?
In this on-demand panel discussion, you’ll hear from women who have built careers studying everything from deep space to ocean exploration and beyond. You will also hear how they have served as leaders in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) occupations and what tools, resources and training they needed to get to this phase of their careers.
Specifically we’ll discuss:
How these women in STEM continue to succeed and serve as role models for future generations of women.
Advice on breaking through the glass ceiling in STEM fields in government.
How they overcame obstacles - like how the first all-female spacewalk was cancelled because they only had spacesuits that fit men - to get where they are and the challenges they continue to face.
