Description

What happens when you went into STEM to change the world and you find that you’re instead just trying to not drown in emails and meetings? Welcome to STEMdentity with your host, Dr. Anna Hodshire, PhD. Anna had 5 jobs in 5 years after grad school. This experience along with building up her own support team helped her to go from feeling disconnected from how she thought science was supposed to be to finding her Why and her own unique STEMdentity. She now is growing and learning in a faculty position in a field completely outside of her training. This podcast dives into the many pressures that take away your focus, time, and creativity and offers concrete stories, actions, interviews, and tools to help you to grow into your most creative, fun, impactful STEMtastic self. Join us and find your STEMdentity that the world needs. What we do is challenging. Let’s talk about how to be spectacular.
