In conjunction with our Women in STEM Summits, we are
featuring a series of Women in STEM success stories, which highlight everyday
inspiration from women making a difference and shaping the future of STEM.
The Women in STEM Idea
Exchange Summits, brought to you by IIR USA, have been designed to facilitate
discussion and action by addressing the question of ‘how to engage women in
STEM education and retain them in STEM careers'. Join us in Boston, NYC,
DC and San Francisco to make connections and participate in the movement to
feed the STEM pipelines of America’s corporations.
One iconic woman in STEM, Talmesha Richards Ph.D. Cellular
and Molecular Medicine, STEMconnector, Director of Project Partnerships, has
one incredible story to tell.
Here’s an excerpt
of Talmesha's story:
My love for math began in the third grade. My teacher, Mrs.
Brown, noticed that I was using my fingers during a multiplication quiz. She
pulled me aside after class and taught me some of the tricks used to solve
multiplication problems. She opened me up to a world where math was fun and
at that point I was hooked. My love for math was quickly followed by a love
for science.
