We also can't talk about a bunch of things and Kate tells a story from her semester teaching at SJSU.All the music in this episode is by IntroflirtThere are too many things we can't talk about!

"Be open to experiences, be open to meeting new people and, it might seem creepy at times, but just smile. Smile at strangers, smile at whoever...because you never know how a simple smile can affect someone in whatever they're going through with their day or life..." Stuff we talked about 2.36: Choosing a career path 3.00: Why you should care about food security 5.59: What's Crops for the Future? Hint: It's not about a war on rice. 12.00: Teff in Ethiopia--the replacement for quinoa? 13.00: Enough about work. What happens when you're not working?

During our conversation, we discussed Maysoun's attitude towards diversity, which includes looking well beyond gender, to age, expertise, ethnicity and also ability. I was keen to learn how she went about hiring a lady with a disability onto her team and what the impact on the organization was. We talked about the biggest challenge she faced in life, and how she overcame it. And we also discussed the many exciting people-facing jobs that exist for women who study science subjects. I enjoyed listening to hearing Maysoun's tips for women in the corporate world... Know your strengths and weaknesses; be courageous; accept or even seek change; network; self-promote; ask for what you want; own your trajectory; build a strong support system - among others. But my two favourites were these: when she gets manterrupted, she interrupts right back (politely)! And the ultimate life hack that I have found useful in my own career/ life: it is OK to not be OK... It is OK to not be perfect. If you would like to follow up with Maysoun, you can find her on LinkedIn or check out Roche Diagnostics.
