I worked as an aerospace engineer roughly 30 years ago. When I went to school, women made up about 10% of the engineering students. Did you find that there are more women in engineering school now?

Also, I personally found that I suffered very little discrimination from being a woman, and, as a matter of fact, I feel as though I was recognized for my work more often than my male counterparts due to the fact that I stood out. That said, as a mom of two adult daughters now, it definitely feels as though issues of discrimination and harassment have gotten worse rather than better over the last 30 years. What have your experiences been regarding these things?

Thank you for taking time to answer all of these questions! I'll have to tune in to your podcast!
