Are you a student in the STEM field wondering about the possibilities of a career in finance? Meet Joanna Myślińska, a PhD student at the Royal Veterinary College as part of the London Interdisciplinary Biosciences Consortium. In this conversation, Joanna shares her advice for fellow STEM students having trained with AmplifyME for three weeks last summer. 👉 **Dispelling Common Misconceptions** There's a prevalent myth that a background in finance is necessary to excel in the field, but the truth is more diverse. Joanna found the field to be more engaging, people-oriented, and enjoyable than she initially anticipated. 🔎 **First Steps to Exploration** Start by staying informed about global events and the financial world. Identify topics that pique your interest. Then, muster the courage to delve deeper into these areas and learn more. 🤝 **The Power of Networking** Venturing into different professional circles can offer unique and authentic perspectives. It's comforting to know many others are navigating similar career paths and challenges as you. 🔁 **Leveraging Transferable Skills** While a specific degree in finance isn't always necessary, a foundational understanding of quantitative concepts is beneficial. Your technical knowledge can enhance the capabilities of teams, such as those in banking, or your analytical skills can be adapted to tackle a new range of problems. Thank you Joanna for sharing your insights with the community! #stem #students #finance #careers

What does our generational wealth consist of? How often do we reflect on its impact? Generational wealth is assets passed from one generation of a family to the next. With the help of Natalie Schonfeld, Ph.D., BRDG interns delved into these thought-provoking questions! 💡 In our workshop, we delved beyond traditional definitions of generational wealth, uncovering the diverse dimensions of generational wealth often overlooked. We explored the richness of cultural wealth, encompassing not only cultural capital but also community cultural wealth, how the system affects generational wealth, and how the complexities of imposter syndrome/phenomenon are connected to all of this. Here are some insights our interns gained: 1️⃣ Cultural wealth is part of generational wealth 2️⃣ Recognize and leverage the capital that you have; once you recognize it, you can build on it 3️⃣ Be mindful about being inclusive, allowing you to broaden your worldview, the easy route is being exclusive 4️⃣ Don’t hide self-doubt behind humility; acknowledge imposter syndrome/phenomenon 💭 We encourage you to ask yourself, what wealth and capital do you have — aspirational, familial, linguistic, navigational, social, resistance? Which is most important to you, and which are you now more aware of? Realizing what you have is, even if it is not tangible, helps you counter imposter syndrome/phenomenon. Once again, thank you to Natalie Schonfeld, Ph.D. for leading this workshop and creating meaningful discussions!

Paying it forward. Five years ago, when my colleagues and I were starting Huys Foundation, this was the mantra that inspired us: opening the doors for others that were once opened for us. Each of us had received the best available education, and we had been able to do so because of the goodwill of others: foundations who funded our studies, senior colleagues who guided us in the academic world, and mentors who helped jump-start our careers afterward. To get to where we were, we had stood upon the shoulders of giants. 10 or so years after graduating, having become established professionals ourselves, it was our turn to offer our shoulders, in all humility, to the generation that followed. And so, Huys Foundation was born, with a single mission: supporting the brightest minds in their pursuit of an excellent education, with an academic and professional commitment to addressing the toughest challenges faced by Armenia, the Armenian nation, and Humanity. Over the past five years, we have awarded 38 scholarships to scholars with academic aspirations that span disciplines. They are dedicating their life to cancer research, healthcare reform, tackling economic disparity, flagging deepfake evidence, protecting online privacy, advancing robotics, building sustainable architectural designs, and so much more. Their visions are brilliantly encapsulated in their commitment letters, available in full on our website. In 2022, we doubled our budget. In 2023, we doubled it yet again. And all this thanks to sheer dedication and conviction – that of our wonderful donors, all grassroots, who generously give their hard-won resources; and of our team, all of whom have full-time jobs and families, but who carve out precious time to volunteer for this virtuous cause. As we approach year's end, we have even more exciting news to share (stay tuned!). In the meantime, I invite you to follow our journey: 1. Check out our 2022 Annual Report, our most robust one yet, linked here. 2. Read the commitment letters of our stellar scholars on our website (those of our 2023-2024 scholars coming soon) – link in the comments. 3. Make a financial contribution to this cause, the impact of which is bound to span generations, all in the spirit of the principle that sparked this undertaking: Paying it forward. #huysfoundation #payingitforward

💡 "Creativity is thinking up new things, and innovation is doing new things." - Theodore Levitt. The journey of innovation often begins with keen observations of the world around us. And where better to cultivate this spirit of innovation than in our schools, which serve as the best observatory laboratories for young minds. Enter the transformative initiative led by Mr. Rajhans Pardhikar and Mr. Rohan Chawhan at the जिल्हा परिषद प्राथमिक शाळा हेटीटोला केन्द्र -कोटरा पं.स. सालेकसा, under the program दप्तर मुक्त शाळा उपक्रम, विषय:-कार्यानुभव. This innovative program challenges students to create durable and useful items from seemingly mundane materials, showing them how to turn what is considered waste into something valuable. It encourages them to explore unconventional ideas and think outside the box. From repurposing old newspapers into stunning artworks to crafting innovative solutions from discarded items, these young innovators are redefining the boundaries of creativity and resourcefulness. They are not just learning academic lessons but are also honing practical skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom. By fostering a culture of innovation and hands-on experience, this initiative is empowering students to become problem-solvers and change-makers in their own right. It's a powerful testament to the transformative impact of education that goes beyond traditional textbooks and exams. The ripple effects of this initiative are profound, sparking a wave of curiosity, creativity, and passion for innovation among students. They are not just learning about innovation; they are living it, breathing life into ideas that have the potential to shape a brighter future for us all.
