Smithsonian Magazine interviewed 18 experts at the Smithsonian to find out what podcasts they listen to and to make recommendations for others as they start the new year in 2020. Dr. Carol O'Donnell, Director of the Smithsonian Science Education Center, shared "Her STEM Story," a weekly podcast about extraordinary stories of real women in the STEM fields. This podcast covers the amazing work of women across the globe who work in different STEM and STEM-related fields. Students (and others) who listen to the podcast learn about what motivates women in STEM, what struggles they overcame, and how we can close the gender gap in male-dominated fields.
