First woman Physics Nobel winner in 55 years

Do you have any idea how many women who go into STEM ultimately leave due to harassment and discrimination? If the harassment I faced had happened early on in my physics degree rather than when I was almost done, I absolutely would have left. Because I can't learn if I'm living in fear that my harasser will walk into the room and trigger a panic attack, so what would the point be? I ultimately left my job in my school's tutorial center to get away from yet another student who was harassing me since nothing was done after I reported the first student except I was bullied and ostracized by my classmates. To my complete non-surprise, student #1 has gone on to harass another girl.

It's not getting women in that's the struggle, it's not losing the few you have to the leaky pipeline.

I thought computers were cool as a kid but stayed away for a long time because of how my computer class in school was full of boys. Later, I just stopped being worried about that and, went back to school for a masters degree in the field.
