The new podcast by Women in STEM

about the podcast

  • Welcome to WiSDOM with WiSTEM — where brilliance meets banter, and science meets story.

    This isn’t just another STEM podcast. It’s a space where the Women in STEM community gets loud (in the best way), sharing the real, raw, and remarkable journeys of women and gender-diverse individuals breaking barriers in science, tech, engineering, and math. Whether you're an aspiring engineer, a future Nobel laureate, or someone who just really likes lab coats and asking "why?", this podcast is for you.

    Each episode dives into candid conversations with WiSTEM ambassadors, alumni, trailblazing professionals, and surprise guests who’ve turned “I think I can” into “Watch me.” From imposter syndrome and innovation to mentorship and microwave experiments gone wrong — we cover it all with heart, humor, and a whole lot of hustle.

    Tune in for insights, inspiration, and that comforting reminder that no one’s STEM journey is linear — but it is absolutely worth it.
