Share your story

“Stories make us more alive, more human, more courageous, more loving.” – Madeleine L’Engle, author of A Wrinkle in Time

 

We invite you to share  a story  that reflects your life in physics. Perhaps it’s a memory of the first scientific concept that sparked your curiosity, or a mentor who nourished your sense of wonder.  It may be the story of a research breakthrough – or failure – and how it changed your thinking. It could be the story of a challenge you faced as a physicist, and how you overcame it. We welcome any story that conveys an experience or perspective that has shaped the scientist and person you have become.

 

With your permission, we will share your story in a unique and engaging compilation during the conference and on our website  that will be launched at the conference:

mySTEMstory.wlu.ca

 

Your story can be a short paragraph, a poem, a song, a video, a drawing, a letter or a longer essay. It is up to you!

Stories may also be presented anonymously if you prefer.
