That's Lit

Dr Morley Muse is the co-founder and director of iSTEM Co, a company that helps women gain employment in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) related roles. In this episode of That’s Lit, I spoke to Morley about the challenges she faced as an engineer and how she has been working to support other women in STEM both in university and in their careers.  Plus, Morley shared some advice for women in STEM who may feel like they’re struggling.  Link in bio for the full interview! #ThatsLitWithShazzieDee #STEM #WomenInSTEM #Science #Technology #Engineering #Maths #Diversity #Inclusion #Employment #Australia #Melbourne #Podcast #YouTube
