Labs Life: An Intern’s View of a Summer in HPE Research

Summer just ended and along with it my wonderful experience interning at Hewlett Packard Labs in Palo Alto. But thankfully I have some great memories to remember it by, from working with some really talented teammates to helping get local kids interested in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).

Being a Labs intern turned out to be much more fun than just sitting in a cube doing research. Our mentors and especially the intern coordinators arranged for us to have many opportunities for bonding with fellow interns and getting to know other researchers.

Fox’s ‘Hidden Figures’ Inspires Historic State Department Program to Support Women in STEM Around the World

As part of an ongoing effort to encourage women and girls to pursue careers in the STEM fields, 21st Century Fox worked with the U.S. Department of State on a unique educational exchange program inspired by the Fox 2000 film Hidden Figures. The program, Hidden No More, brought 48 women from 48 different countries, each of whom are STEM leaders in their home countries, to the United States this October for a three-week tour of American organizations making strides to support women in STEM. Hidden No More marks the first time in the history of the State Department that a Hollywood movie has led to the creation of a publicly funded education exchange program.

How Many More Sleeps Mommy? – The Other Hidden Barrier to Women at Work

Some of the buzz these days surrounds women in the workplace and the various barriers to their professional advancement. My personal experience over the years, probably like many others, has varied between amazing bosses and mentors who encouraged me to grow, and of course the not so great bosses and the leaders who felt threatened and excluded me. Over the past 9 years, my journey has been more about the evil two words we call “mommy guilt.” It’s the other hidden barrier that so many of us share which often holds women back from the next big promotion.
