We’ve all seen robots in popular media doing crazy cool (and sometimes scary) things, but Henny Admoni’s robots are far beyond our childhood Jetson’s robo-maid dreams. Henny’s research focuses on developing intelligent, autonomous robots that help humans on complex tasks like eating a meal or learning a new skill. She is an Assistant Professor in the Robotics Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where she works on assistive robotics and human-robot interaction. Learn what the heck that all means (unless you’re a badass woman in STEM that could translate already!) and all about how Henny managed to marry her interest in psychology and robotics into the perfect career path. She’s sharp as a tack and has some great Sci-Fi novel recommendations for you! Onward and upward! Thoughts? Email us: shatteredglasspodcast@gmail.com Music by Anthony LaMarca

“Being a radical revolutionary means standing in the gap and being willing to access who is and who is not at the table.” - Symone D. Sanders When Symone Sanders was the ripe old age of 25, she boldly pursued a job she wanted... and got it. Symone was the national press secretary for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders in 2015 and has since made waves as a political commentator on CNN and a powerful political activist.  She calls for accomplices, not allies. Symone asks us to recognize our differences, embrace them, and work together for radical solutions. She's fierce, sharp as a tack, and strong as a... well.. woman. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll probably have to write in your journal after this one. (We definitely did.) This interview took place in front of a live audience at the August Wilson Center as part of the TruthSayers series. Listen in, and get ready to be inspired to follow your path, just the way you are!
