To do what they couldn’t.
My grandmother loved to draw. I have two of her almost faded drawings hanging on my wall. Well, one is hanging, the other one is leaning on a side-table. But the particulars are not important. Important is that she loved drawing but she couldn’t. It was East-Berlin, the wall was tearing the country apart and no one had the time to frolic around with a bunch of crayons. So she exchanged the pencils for some scissors and became a proper haircutter for the community, because painting is a “breadless art” she would say, and so the dream withered along with her hair.

Part I: The Downfall of Medicine
Let me tell you what you don't want to hear. Let me be blunt and opinionated. Let me be "political" and let me own my voice. I am not a brilliant hero. I do not want the responsibility you force on my shoulders but I will do it if you demand it because I have little choice. When you poison what I do and what I love, you poison what I can provide as a genuine service. I want to show to loyalty and honour but when you corrupt my desires with your desires, you ask more of me than I can carry. Eventually I will break and die. I will lose myself and I will be bitter at you and everything. I will scream silently and turn against the very essence of what I lived for. I will leave you behind and you will cry at the stupidity you admitted when you eventually succumbed to your naivety.

5 Reasons To Work At A Startup For Your First Engineering Job
Looking for a job is always a difficult process, no matter if you have done it a few times already or it's your first time. Knowing what kind of engineering job you want beforehand can make your life a lot easier. But especially if you're looking for your first job, it's very unlikely that you will already know exactly what you want. So the best thing you can do is look at what the market has to offer. But the problem is that there is basically an unlimited number of choices out there in terms of engineering jobs. Having so many choices doesn't really help.

Carrying a woman's voice
Hi, I am Em, Em Ahlawat. Em is a pen name I have chosen for myself. Now you may think how authentic my voice would be under the shadow of a nom de plume, but you have to agree, there is a mystery behind a name such as Em, isn't there? Besides I am not totally changing my identity, on the contrary reclaiming it. My family name is Ahlawat, which I had given up after marriage but I am ready to reintroduce to the world. Why do women even change their last names, why did I? But I digress, that’s a topic for another post. I am British by birth and of Indian heritage. America is home now. I had the opportunity to attend schools many different parts of the world but spent my young adult life in India. I have stayed away from my parents since I was 10 years old, all in the pursuit of a good education, “to not be lost and be someone”, as my mother would say. So I grew up independent in my thoughts and a tad bit feminist in my bones. I grew up feeling that the weight of being a woman either gives you a voice or takes it away from you. I was unreservedly vocal then or maybe was forced to be. A young woman growing up in India under the prying and not always kind eyes of the men around me, I had to put the armor on and look them straight in the eye and speak my truth. I believe there was a mischievous side to my voice as well - unafraid, playful, and content. I did like this side of my voice.

Stand Back Testosterone,
I think every woman who works in a male dominated field has had a male partner who feels protective of her. The need to keep their female partners can sometimes be, well, a bit too much. Don't get me wrong. I appreciated all of my male partners looking out for me but I was also always looking out for them. We had each other's six. ( we had each other's backs.)

Construction
At 24 years of age I finished my master’s degree in marine biology. I like water and I love sea creatures, and I love the idea of discovering a new species someday. Getting a master’s in marine biology is easy if it’s your passion but finding a job afterwards can be a problem—they virtually don’t exist.
