Nebraska Women in STEM recently talked to Dr. Shireen Adenwalla, professor of physics and astronomy, about her career in the male-dominated field of physics. Adenwalla describes discovering and falling in love with physics as an eighth-grader, her first encounters with sexism at a co-ed college, and the challenges she's faced as a professional in the field. "Her advice for students considering a science career is to 'not worry too much about what other people think of you. I would worry more about doing the work in front of you, and that work can be your homework or your quizzes. Go work for someone in a lab. It is so much fun, you’ll never look back.'"
