What people say about us

“it was a great experience....!”

Joining Stemspiration was a turning point in my career. As a young scientist in Africa, I faced limited access to resources and mentorship. My Stemspiration mentor guided me through applying for international research grants, and I secured funding for my first independent project. Today, I am mentoring other young women, paying it forward just as Stemspiration taught me.

After 20 years in academia, I felt stagnant and lacked direction for the next stage of my career. Through Stemspiration advanced mentorship program, I was matched with a leader in my field who helped me refine my leadership style and reconnect with my research passion. I’ve since published a groundbreaking paper and taken on a leadership role in an international project

Mentoring through Stemspiration has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career. Guiding young women and sharing my journey reminded me of the barriers I overcame and how far I’ve come. It’s inspiring to see mentees grow, break barriers, and succeed. WISMI is truly building a future where women in science are unstoppable.
