Derek,

I recall the first time I saw one of your awesome videos and noticed you also wearing an iron ring.

Do you associate yourself more as an engineer, a physicist, or an educator? Or does it really matter?

I'm an engineer at a nuclear plant and think you did an amazing job on Uranium. Keep it up!

Hi Amy, love your content! I didn't realize until now that you went to King's, where my daughter graduated.

Keep up your great attitude. I've been a long-time advocate for women in STEM but I know parts of it can be a challenge -- I'm a male engineer and have an awesome female supervisor. I don't see women in engineering to be a huge challenge, but I gather women in the trades have to deal with an enormous amount of sexism. It hurts me to hear "to fit in, I had to become 'one of they guys'".

What do you think is required for women to become more accepted in Tech fields?

I think the point is that poaching has always been against the law, however there are many instances where politicians of high level have been implicated in it. Lack of enforcement and apparent recent improvements are the issue.

Thanks! Our company had a policy that if two technical candidates had equal scores in an interview, it went to the female. I thought that was a pretty reasonable approach. Still lots to be done though.
