Seven diverse individuals describe why they are giving their talents to science, maths, and medicine, some obstacles they’ve encountered that almost resulted in them being lost from STEMM, and how these were overcome. Also they describe their contributions, and their wishes for the future. Underlying themes: unconscious and conscious bias, equity (not equality) in assessment, the intense competitive culture of science, funding constraints, that evidence eats the confidence-gap for breakfast, and processes that block EMCRs. But, as these brilliant people articulate, obstacles can be overcome and it takes collective and individual effort … to keep contributing to STEMM.
