Quotes Be bold. Search out people who work in your area of interest. I gained a lot of opportunities by just emailing folks that I thought did cool research and inquiring if I could be their summer intern Don’t be afraid to ask for a job!!! In 5 years, I hope to have finished up a post-doc, and be working at a research lab, studying volcanic and magmatic processes on both terrestrial and icy bodies. I’d also like to be teaching part time at a minority-serving institution. I think the best strategy is first realizing that it is impossible to make time for everything, all the time, and still remain sane! So, setting priorities are important. We not only deal with sexism. We also have to deal with racism, We need to think of diversity on multiple axes. External links
