During the week of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, I was welcomed as a guest speaker in the Better Education for Women in Science and Engineering (BE WiSE) HerSTEM Journey virtual workshop, organized by San Diego’s Fleet Science Center.

Today, I had so much fun being a guest speaker for the Generation STEM Podcast, organized and hosted by the students of the Ciampini-Boccardo High School in Nova Ligure, Italy. Check their YouTube channel (only in 🇮🇹) https://bit.ly/4kwQ6DN

If you are at the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics Annual Meeting (SIAM AN25) come see our MiniSymposia titled "Tacit Knowledge in Stable Compressible Flow Numerics" where I will also be giving an introductory talk.

Part I is MS70, this afternoon at 4 pm, and Part II is MS88, on Wednesday at 8 am, in the beautiful Montreal Convention Center.

This might be an insignificant number to many. But I'm often reminded that we should celebrate all our accomplishments, no matter how small they look. I know that we all are more than mere metrics that academia obtusely still imposes on us. But as someone who has mostly recovered from impostor syndrome now, I would like share that I've just crossed the 100 citations mark, with the hope that this might inspire young #WomenInSTEM #WomenInMath #GirlsWhoCode
