Mini-Series: Men Supporting Women in STEM
Gender equality needs both genders to work together. I am grateful for the men who pushed me to pursue STEM and excel at STEM. From my father, my thesis professor, men who hired me, men who promoted me to my husband who supports all my career goals. There are some amazing men who are supporting and promoting girls to join STEM. I wanted to interview some of my favorite MEN IN STEM to learn about them and what they think both genders can do to effectively close the gender gap.
With a 4 1/2-year-old daughter, women in STEM is a critical part of Jonathan's life. Our guest today, Jonathan Gerlach is an educator, STEMnist and a keynote speaker. He gives keynotes globally and in every keynote highlights his daughter and the need to inspire and empower more girls in STEM activities. As a STEM advocate, he leads the #STEM4All twitter chat. Jonathan believes that STEM is about connections and he tries to connect everyone to the amazing girls & women who are changing our world. Listen now to learn more about Jonathan's wonderful story.
