STEMinism Sunday: Amanda Roe

Just hanging out in the forest, looking for some bugs.

Welcome to STEMinism Sunday! As a former woman in science, I have a deep and enduring interest in the experiences and representation of women in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering, and math). This series will be an opportunity for me – and you – to get to know some of these intellectual badasses.

Today I’d like you to meet Dr. Amanda Roe, of the Great Lakes Forestry Centre (Natural Resources Canada). I wanted to feature Roe because she’s not only a dedicated scientist, she’s also a talented visual artist, meaning her work represents STEM but also STEAM – science, technology, engineering, ARTS, and math. Kind of like me, but with more pictures.
