February 2018 Ambassador Posts
Where Are They Now?
This month we're looking at the paths that our Members and community have taken to get where they are, whether it's in a STEM classroom, in a graduate research seminar, in the lab, in a corner office, or leading a team.
We all started on our STEM journey somewhere. We want to celebrate that journey and share tools, advice, and stories from along the way.
As a reminder, here some hashtags you can include in your posts:
- #IAmNYAS - When sharing your own or other Academy Members' stories.
- #Imagine300 - For posts focused on the future of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics)
- #STEMRoleModels or #ScienceHeroes - For mentors, role models, leaders in their field (past and present), and people of all ages doing inspiring work in STEM.
- #FutureofSTEM - For posts focused on young people in STEM.

Post 1 - #STEMThrowback Instructions: What was an early moment in your life or career that inspired and motivated you to pursue an education or career in STEM? Example: When I was 5 years old my aunt took me to work with her and I got to see the inside of a computer for the first time. I knew from that day forward I wanted to build things like her. #STEMThrowback #IAmNYAS | Include a photo of yourself as a child, or early in your career. |
Post 2 - Career Resources Suggested Post: Despite the rumors, no one gets where they are in their career entirely alone. We've all had help along the way. Get a little help from @NYASciences with these career resources - many are free or low cost. http://bit.nyas.org/2BfdH8J #CareerAdvice #STEMjobs #FutureofSTEM |

Post 3 - Interviews Suggested Post: Have you ever reached out to a company that you dream of working for to ask for an information interview, even if there's not an open position for you? It may sound scary, but @NYASciences is offering a webinar that could help you pull it off and get the job you're hoping for. http://bit.nyas.org/2FTJgDM #CareerAdvice #STEMjobs #FutureofSTEM |  |

Post 1 - Our Climate Future Suggested Post: Scientists know that climate change is real, but how are we going to better understand it and work to adapt and improve life on Earth? @NYASciences interviewed three @BlavatnikAwards Scholars about the research they're conducting and how we might be able to make use of it. http://bit.nyas.org/2sczI4R #Imagine300 #FutureofSTEM |  |
Post 2 - #WomeninSTEM Suggested Post: You've likely heard the stories and seen the headlines about the under-representation of #WomeninSTEM. @NYASciences helps explain some of the research that's been done to explore the issue and what we can all do about it. http://bit.nyas.org/2s9NYLM #FutureofSTEM #Imagine300 |  |
Post 3 - Inspiring Early Suggested Post: A lot of people imagine going into space as young people, or helping to cure diseases or solve resource problems in their communities. In this podcast from @NYASciences, you'll hear from four young scientists who aren't just dreaming, their doing! http://bit.nyas.org/2GU6MlD #FutureofSTEM #Imagine300 |  |
