March For Science

@MarchForScience

Are you a female who thought about doing engineering but decided against it? Why? What can the science community do better? #ScienceMarch

decided against engineering because my math skills are comparatively weak. Went with science instead though!

better math teachers in high school would be my suggestion for change. I was doing fine until a bad teacher in 11th grade

My math teacher convinced me that women weren't cut to understand complicated issues. Because...women! Teach girls equality

How about calling women women and not “females”? You sound like a Ferengi.

I ended up bored in my classes. I wanted to study more dynamic systems. Changed Chem Eng to Geology.

The Science Community can start by not calling us 'females.' You sound like a Ferengi.

To be honest...engineering sounds really hard. I settled for chemistry >.>

I'm an engineer and failed chemistry. It's all good.
