Episode Summary

In honour of International Women In Engineering Day 2023, we're bringing back this episode with @jk_twentyone (a.k.a Jessica Kizovski), the former brand manager and lead product formulator at @veriphyskincare, a Canadian-made collection of clean, green skincare backed by science and a team of women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math fields).

Before launching her career as a #STEMinist, Jessica worked at @sephoracanada as a makeup artist while studying science to eventually bridge her passions for beauty and theory, leading her to delve into cosmetic chemistry.

In this episode, we explore the following:

STEM as a significant driver of the world economy
The reasons why we see fewer women than men pursue careers in STEM
Why more women leave their STEM careers
Industry stereotypes
Organizational diversity
The fact that Veriphy might be the only beauty brand with a scholarship for young women entering STEM-related programs at university...

And more!
