Propelling Women in Power Podcast: Season 1

https://energy.wisc.edu/news/propelling-women-power-podcast

Women are integral members of the energy science community and play an enormous role in developing an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable future for the field of energy. From nuclear engineers to atmospheric scientists to ecological researchers, they inspire and empower their coworkers and mentees to break the glass ceiling while contributing to these ever-growing fields of discovery.

Hosted by Wisconsin Energy Institute assistant editor Michelle Chung and undergraduate communications intern Mary Riker, Propelling Women in Power is a podcast about the careers of women in energy at the Wisconsin Energy Institute on the UW–Madison campus and our sister institution, the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center. It is our goal to highlight their individual experiences, mentors, and work-life balance, while seeking advice for young women in science and asking the question: “Who and what facilitated your success?” Subscribe, rate, comment right now on Spotify, Anchor, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Youtube or anywhere podcasts are found.

Note: this is a list of resources gathered by the Officers of WaMPS in the early stages of development and is not meant to be exhaustive. This part of the website is meant to be a starting point for gathering information and resources on topics we thought may concern or interest the student community.
