It was an honor to be on this panel representing #AAPIinSTEM! My advice to early career scientists was this:
Know that you come from strength. Even as a "first" or an "only", you come from a long line of strong & resourceful people. Carry that strength with you in all you do!
The 2nd @aapigeosci Roundtable felt like a safe & supportive space where we–as geoscientists with many other identities–can share our professional & personal journeys with one another, thanks to the amazing panelists @ClumpedIsotopes @BalaChaudhary@george_mage @SoraLKim 🙏🏼💙
