As a high school student, the world beyond home and graduation
moves more clearly into view every day. You can see the
work you do now beginning to point the way to your dreams
of a career in science.
An exciting and satisfying career is a lifetime journey
– an ongoing mixture of passion, hard work, and
the unexpected. Along the way, inspirations and challenges
come in small stages, and it can be easy to lose sight
of the vision which first inspired you. WISH-net can
help you keep sight of what got you started, and where
you want to go.
This section of WISH-net offers stories and advice from
currently working women scientists, as well as profiles
of women who were science pioneers. You’ll find
personal stories of explorations and achievements in
a wide variety of fields – from endocrinology
to veterinary surgery – and get a glimpse into
the lives of women like Marie Curie, Jane Goodall and
Mae Jemison who broke gender barriers to advance in
the science field.
Whether you just realized you actually love your biology
class, have just begun to enjoy the way the rest of
the world disappears when you’re absorbed in the
puzzles and thrills of science, or are already fully
committed to pursuing a career in science, WISH-net
can help you build on the inspiration that started you
thinking about a career in science.
