Love this! I am a fellow engineer, and tend to be the only female engineer in my office throughout most of my career. In our area I also tend to be the first female engineer that others have worked with. This strikes so true. Would have loved this kind of example when I was starting out. Like Emily I have gradually learned to bring my personality into my wardrobe despite what is expected. When I am in a meeting or at a construction site I stand out regardless of what I wear. I may as well wear what I love! I love that there are women like Emily now for young stem women to look up to. I also follow galacticgal and chloetheengineer for inspiration in this area.

Love her professional cupcake. I dress for myself too. I’m also often the only woman in the room, and I don big statement jewelry and twirly fun dresses and kick ass while being true to myself. I went to a client meeting at a major pharmaceutical company wearing my embroidered fox dress and patterned leggings. I was the brightest thing for miles.

I LOVE Emily - the amazing science that she makes so easy for kids and parents to do more science and expose younger and younger kids to what science means to the world around us. Plus, she's an internet/social media BOSS. Yes, LOVE HER, and love this crossover.

We love Space Gal, Emily in our house! Your interview with her was so thoughtful and brings science, women, and fashion to the forefront. We need more of it!

This was such a fun read! I love how she proves you can mix brains and fashion together! Plus, it proves not to be afraid of color!

Loved this! I have her first science experiment book and we loved her show. Was so sad to not have it renew! I work in the construction industry so I can relate to a lot of this - been working on defining my sartorial expression over the last year thanks to SMT.

I’ve been loving following Emily’s style as a fellow STEM female!

Being a young architect in the mid-80's, who went into construction management I was definitely the only female in the room as well as being about 10 years younger. It is SO tough! Cudos to Emily.
