NASA and Women in STEM (0:08:11) According to a 2018 study by the NGC Project, women make up only 28% of the STEM workforce in the United States. Despite producing some of the most innovative technology and research results that we’ve ever seen, the STEM world still has a long way to go in terms of diversity. So, what is it like working in a field in which you are severely under-represented? Joining us again on the show is Dr. Knicole Colon, a research astrophysicist at NASA and a woman in STEM. We’re discussing her experiences working in the STEM field and how we can encourage other girls to pursue their career dreams as well. POUND (0:19:44) What if we told you that 25,000 instructors in over 100 countries are teaching thousands of people to exercise with drumsticks? Well you better believe it, because this unique form of exercise is sweeping the globe. It all began in 2011whentwo women mixed their love for drumming with exercise to stay in shape. They discovered that dancing with drumsticks helps women rock out and feel empowered. This dance exercise is called Pound, and it combines dance, cardio, pilates and yes, drumsticks. Here to tell us more about this popular trend is former Pound instructor, Harlee Dye! Smart Homes 101 (0:33:50) Technology seems to be getting smarter every day.

But have you thought about adding a smart home to your list? To help us know if we should buy them and what smart homes can really do, we’ve invited Sarah Kimmel onto the show. She’s a family tech expert and digital parenting coach. Family Therapy (1:00:50) Every
