Celebrations ??
Milena is celebrating her PhD thesis/project milestone!
In her own words:
“After a year of failures, tests, adjustments, and learning so many new things I finally got to install my experiment at Oxford! Everything is set up for measurements which will take place in September and this is very exciting because these results are the first ones I can put in my PhD thesis.“

Lindsey created her own nonprofit organization, STEMgirl group!
In her own words:
“So I had an idea to start my own stem group for girls. So I partnered up with the library starting in September I will be going in and showing girls cool experiments to get them interested and exposed to the stem field. Because women are still underrepresented in the stem field so I wanted to give elementary school kids a chance to experience the beauty of science. It’s a non-profit organization. And it’s basically going to be like an after school club / extracurricular ?“

Leadership skills are essential for anyone working today, regardless of field or position… Why? Because being a leader is so much more than just being in a management position in a big company. It is a way we interact with our surroundings, the way we move through the world of business. You don’t have to hold an official leadership title to exhibit leadership traits or to benefit from them. These are the ideas I’ve been contemplating, so I decided to talk to an expert. Check out the article to learn more! ?
Are you ready to become happier today? Let me share some of my main takeaways from an amazing course on Coursera (by Yale University), which is called The Science of Wellbeing.
