In honor of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, here's an interesting article about the experiences of early career women in physics. Though we have made some progress, there is still a lot of work to do to improve the culture/climate in physics. 👩🔬⚛️🎢

Is this episode a post-defence therapy session? Is it offering grad school advice? Or is it two friends having a giggle? Whatever it is, I enjoyed recording this with Pooja ☺️
