at the Soviet conference on physics in
1927 mario curie
is the only women in attendance but
nowadays only one-fifth of PhD degrees
in physics are awarded to women in this
country so why in this day and age
heaven we achieve gender balance in y -2
outnumber women women are
underrepresented in many area of
mathematics science engineering and
technologies so to add all these
questions was the root cause the root
cause is never a difference in
intelligence in gender bias to solve
this to trust to solve this problem they
I think the initiative to promote the
balance should come from the women
working in the stem field themselves as
a woman have been spent so many years
working in the stem field I think I
already learned how to despite bias her
degree and find a job I think lots of
girls in this world in this university
and even in this very room have suffered
the same issue I am definitely not the
only one in 2012 Malala yousafzai a
Pakistani girl was shot for going to
school she right now is a Nobel Peace
Prize winner loaded for her bravery
continuing a fight she began at age 11
her brain reads health award that no one
can take away the rights for a girl to
be educated there are 61 millions of
children who are out of school right now
and most of them are female for me I
have a similar situation when I was
young my friend sorry my parents are
doctors and we were lived in a city just
right before I’m about to attend the 1st
grade they are dispatched to a small
village as a medical assistant that
village is really far from cities so
they don’t really care about education
or going to school for me the only
chance to go into school is to work
miles on Mountain Trail and go to school
there
this may think you may think this is
absurd but this is actually what
happened as
so – since this only opportunity I
choose to be educated
I did my some girls who choose not to go
into school and once that their parents
told her you are a girl you don’t need
to be knowledgeable the only mission for
you in this war is to get a man get
married and have kids for me I have to
say to that is women are not procreation
tools there are the wisdom of this world
and they deserve the Eco treatment with
men for me I am lucky because my parents
believe in science and they encouraged
me to go to school and get a good great
education so in 2007 I was able to
attend an amazing University majoring in
physics so in the first year there are a
quarter of students in my class are
female this is pretty high ratio at a
time but at the second year lots of
girls choose to change their major
because they felt the pressure from
their parents or the society at large to
persuade them to get girls have job like
they can have a career which is suitable
for women I must admit that this had a
very large impact on me because I start
to panic I start to worry is there
actually no future for women working in
town or am I on the right track but for
me I’m really loving in working in the
lab so I love new thoughts I love
putting my new salt into new productions
and this is my interest and I feel happy
about it
if yes maybe my life would be easier if
I choose to change but I won’t be happy
so that’s the moment after I think this
through I decide I will stay in this
major before I knew it I was about to
graduate from my physics degree in order
to get better education so I choose to
come here and get a PhD degree because
English is my second language so I need
to the order to pass GRE or TOEFL like
that tests I need to spend more hours on
memorizing English words after seeing me
working extensive hours on study
some of my relatives said to me stop you
won’t get an offer you already work
enough hard work to get your bachelor
degree why bother to get a PhD just get
married and get your life going I said
their concern but I didn’t listen to
them so for because for me I think the
Cadi of my life going is not to find a
perfect man is to stay with your passion
and working in the area are you actually
in love with eventually I found out I
got six offers from United States with
full scholarship after I entered
bachelor to PhD program the FSU I
thought everything should be better that
I may have a friendlier working
environment but actually know one day I
will see a manufacturing lab and I was
trying to undo a screw the screw was
tied in very tight for a better seal so
I need to spend all my strength working
on it just at the tightest time one guy
walked by and asked me why do you choose
engineering at the first place you don’t
even have the strength to do that just
quit or get another major
wow that’s the first time I ever heard
obstacles can be sorry that’s the first
time I ever heard weak arms can be
obstacles on your way to pursuing a PhD
degree so if you think strength is the
thing you may need to know to have
pursuing a degree in engineering then
you can use your strengths I will use my
brain thank you
this is definitely not a one-time
occurrence I have to learn how to deal
with this and fair judgment well I’m
still pursuing my PhD degree all the
hard work I did at that time is trying
to prove myself in 2013 a chance arouse
I got a a flyer from Center
International Organization about Amelia
Earhart fellowship this is a fellowship
they will select certified people around
the globe Oh to encourage women to
pursue more advanced studies in
aerospace area and this fellowship is
meant to encourage those who will be
extraordinary in the main male-dominated
field so I start to think what’s the
odds thirty five people out of millions
why they choose me so this is definitely
a chance everybody wants but this is
definitely not a chance
everybody can get later I talked to my
advisor dr. O’Connell Coley and my best
friend and colleague dr. Terry Dickens
both of them told me just go for it
never hesitate it’s never hard to put in
your application after my hard work and
I put an application I find out I
actually actually got the fellowship and
which led me to more interviews and my
face appearance in the newspapers and
FSU homepage
after I got award I also got to know
lots of successful woman in the
tone-tone international organization and
I even got congratulation emails on
LinkedIn from other district who Sutton
news I start to talk to them then I
found out I have more and more advice
from them that’s the moment I start to
believe that all my hard work actually
worth it so later in the same year I
worked with several of my colleagues
Margaret Chelsea Emily Deborah and
Rebecca who suffer from the same gender
issue in my lab we start an organization
culture among at the beginning we
volunteer in preliminary and high
schools to help the little girls
basic science teach them about the
science projects try to encourage those
curves who shall interest in stem and to
continue their paths and never stop
chasing their dream after a while we
start to realize that little girls may
have interest in science but what
actually stops them is a judgment they
got from their parents friends during
their grow up so we start to recruit
more and more female in FSU we held
gender body meetings for them and try to
involve them in the same network we
provide the chance for them to support
each other and while they can have more
confidence in their daily work after two
years the head of the Association
Margaret shiner got the same Amelia
Earhart fellowship it is really great to
see that all the women in this campus
has has put efforts you have all the
people realized about the gender bias
and never say that you are a girl you
don’t deserve this I think you’re a girl
because you’re a girl you need to take
that chance
last April I graduate with my PhD degree
in industrial engineering and I start to
work as a product developed engineer for
a company called general capacitor after
all I’ve been through even though I’m
the only female engineer in the company
I still think I can handle all this with
my confidence in high side I should
apply for the Amelia Earhart fellowship
with no hesitation because after I got
the award I already got a lot of things
far beyond my imagination it is
generally the former president of some
key international intelligence means
suni my tree maker gave dr. shell my
contact information that’s how dr. Shyam
got to know me and gave me the
invitation to speak at this amazing TED
talk I think this opportunity is
precious even though I don’t know how to
speak at this public I don’t have
experience to speak like this I still
want to break my limit and Here I am
that’s why
thank you that’s why when dr. sham
called me I said yes immediately
so human potential is like water in the
sponge if in order to get your water you
need to squeeze sponge so never say that
you don’t have a chance the only thing
you do is to put in your effort women
are underrepresented in this world and
in many area of science technology
mathematics and women are represented in
many area in this world in many area of
science technology mathematics and
engineering so this is a gray area with
no easy answer because it is likely
impossible to is tangle the effects of
social bias and individual preference
because the innovative preference men
will come from their understanding in
the difference of gender so as a member
of a group which is considered
vulnerable by the society I think we
need to grab their chance when it’s
available so so never say that you don’t
have the chance charge the chance is
fleeting and only you can can do what
you can do this choice will not made by
the world by Society will fight will
made by you and only you know what can
lift you up and only you can decide
which path you will go so before I leave
the stage I must be living with this
girls grab any chance you can get to
chase your dream never lets your chance
elite in front of you this world will
leave you know no time to hesitate get
actually and get crazy and boys never
mess with a crazy woman and good luck
