Transformational Opportunities, YOU CAN DO IT!

Submitted by Marvi Ann Matos on

When talking to scientists in industry and academia, I always ask: “How is it that you got involved in Research? What inspired you to follow a path as a Scientist? When did you decide that you would continue a PhD?”  While an interest in Science and Math typically starts early on in school and prior to college, the passion that propels many of these individuals to pursue a PhD stems from transformational research opportunities. Many times, the answers to all my questions converge into: “it was that summer research opportunity that inspired me to dream higher”. My life as an engineer and scientist and my motivation were not different.

Care about the future of science? Be visible.

‘I am the girl that tweeted you’.

Elena found me on Twitter.  “I need your help,” she wrote.  I gave her my email.

Elena is an 8th grade student in Puerto Rico and her teacher had assigned students to profile a Puerto Rican scientist for a special project.  “You,” she wrote, “are my scientist.”

Why women leave science, you ask? THIS. This is why.

About twenty Puerto Rican ecologists assisted to the first organized event convened by Ciencia Puerto Rico at the Ecological Society of America’s Annual Ecological meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota.  Just like in the majority of these scientific meetings, a huge amount of researchers assisted to the general meeting. However, having around 4,000 attendees, it is not always easy to find fellow Puerto Rican scientists.  Because of this, a new idea was born: having a gathering of Puerto Rican scientist at the Ecological meeting.

“De manera fundamental sería ideal que el ciudadano promedio pudiera entender conceptos de ciencia y tecnología y porqué son importantes. La ciencia, en general, te lleva al pensamiento crítico. Si el ciudadano promedio utilizara el pensamiento crítico como herramienta cotidiana para resolver una gamma de problemas, yo creo, que tendríamos un mejor ciudadano”. Mónica Feliú-Mójer, Ph.D.
