While the number of women aspiring to make a career in STEM is on the rise, we are yet to see equal representation in college classrooms, especially at coveted institutes such as ITTs of India whose corridors still remain heavily male-dominated. One of the many ways to change dynamics of gender here is by striking inspiration among young girls and bringing them stories of women who broke glass-ceilings in science or simply worked their way up with determination and talent to have successful careers.
Outside of history books, India has numerous women researchers and professors in the present who represent modern-day women of STEM in India. One such woman is Prof. Preeti Aghalayam, Department of entry level computer science jobs, IIT Madras.
A marathon runner and blogger, Prof. Aghalayam talks with SheThePeople.TV on the biases that women in science have to deal with and how our society needs to be more open to the idea of young women making their own choices. When not teaching or running long distance, Preeti writes on the tyranny of the rasam and her love for food, life in the city.
