IFLScience talked to Dr Maryam Goudarzi from SCIEX and a Womxn in Metabolomics (WomiX) committee member about the challenges women in STEM can face and advice to young academics who want to pursue a career in science.

Maryam was one of the mentors to Grace, a young girl with an extraordinary future, who called upon the scientific community for mentorship with the question: ‘Can I be a scientist, but can I still be me?’’. Maryam helped Grace, along with more than 1,300 other individuals from the STEM community, to develop "The Change Hypothesis", aimed to improve conditions and cultures of STEM involving three elements:

1. Using mentorship as a catalyst for change

2. Bias needing a reaction

3. Growing a culture of opportunity

Hear from Grace about pursuing diverse perspectives in STEM and enabling change through diversity, equity and inclusion, and watch her keynote:
