Inspiration is a necessary element to any satisfying career. But where do we find it? Is it in those who have come before us? The encouragement and confidence others give? The goals and dreams we have set for the future?

This quarter’s Scientiae topic is Inspiring Women in STEM. Contribute your stories of historical or contemporary women in STEM who motivate you. Write about how individuals, male or female, STEM or not, who have encouraged and supported the careers and advancement of women in STEM. Share the things that help you stay focused on your goals as a woman in STEM. Offer anecdotes of how you are inspiring girls and women to get involved and stay involved in STEM.

As always, you can write a new post or pull one from your archives. And feel free to submit more than one! If you don’t have your own blog yet but would like to contribute, I will definitely consider publishing guest posts here (check the “finding belle” tab above for contact info).

By the way, we love to hear stories about inspiring women in STEM from non-female bloggers as well 🙂

The June Scientiae Carnival will be hosted right here by yours truly. Send your links to scientiaecarnival@gmail.com no later than Friday, June 17. I will post the roundup on or about June 20.

Happy writing!
