Digdeep Podcast: Why Shouldn’t Women Be Afraid of STEM, Claudia Zech?

News From the Digital World by MCML PI Frauke Kreuter and Christof Horn

In this episode of #digdeep physicist and science communicator Claudia Zech talks about women in STEM and why young women should not be afraid of pursuing careers in science and technology.

Women are still underrepresented in many STEM fields, even though diversity and different perspectives are essential for innovation and scientific progress. Claudia Zech shares insights from her own career in physics and discusses the importance of visibility, role models, and self-confidence for encouraging more women to enter technical and scientific professions.

The episode also explores how social media and science communication can help make complex topics more accessible and inspire younger generations to engage with STEM subjects. Together, the speakers discuss existing challenges, changing perceptions of STEM careers, and what universities, companies, and society can do to create a more inclusive environment.

Just listen in (podcast in German).
