Acerca de Propelling Women in Power

Welcome to 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. We talk about the career paths of women scientists and engineers, the obstacles they have faced, and most importantly, their advice for young women scientists and engineers. It is our goal to highlight their individual experiences, the role of mentorship, and work-life balance, while asking the question “who and what facilitated your success?”

Data, Democracy, and Determination with Kaiping Chen

In this episode, we sit down with Kaiping Chen, Assistant Professor in Life Sciences Communication at UW–Madison. She leads us down the path to what she does now, from exploring political science to diving into the computational methods that drive her communications research. Through her community engagement work, she seeks to connect data science, democratic theory, and human-computer interactions to find out how to empower people, especially those who are underserved, to participate in environmental policymaking. She explains how she’s finding out who says what in deliberation processes and highlights her invaluable experiences collaborating with community members and listening to community NGOs. Lastly, she delves into the essential support required for young STEM faculty, emphasizing the significance of holistic success criteria, promotions, and diverse mentorship opportunities in the field.

The Reed that Bends with Joy Altwies

How do you choose between academia and industry? How do you stay resilient in whatever position you might find yourself in? Today, we speak to Joy Altwies, director of UW–Madison's Office of Interdisciplinary Professional Programs, who's been at the forefront of the sustainable construction field. With her roots in sustainability, she navigated her way through both industry and academia and shares insight on what to expect in each sector. She lends us wisdom on how she’s navigated many parts of her career, from keeping a strong network to staying flexible in tough situations, and shares what we need to do to invite more girls into engineering.

episode Pressure vs. Purpose with Mallory Spencer artwork

Pressure vs. Purpose with Mallory Spencer

In today's episode, Mallory Spencer, graduate student in the Thomas Lab at UW–Madison, takes us on her journey through STEM, how her undergraduate internship at the Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center sparked her passion for exploring the bioproduct-making potential of microbes, leading her to pursue a Masters Degree in Bacteriology. Mallory candidly shares the pressure she faced to pursue a PhD and how self-reflection guided her decision to pursue a Masters instead. She offers valuable insights into the challenges surrounding accountability and accommodations in academia. Mallory enlightens us with her personal experiences navigating STEM as a woman, reflections on purpose, and the potential for positive change in the academic landscape. Connect with us!
