Positive moments exist "where you're learning about yourself and how you interact with the world," said Brian Madrigal from LabCentral during today's career panel for Mass STEM Week. This morning, over 40 Malden High School students heard from Madrigal and three other STEM professionals: Liam Tait from New England Aquarium, Annie Spangenberger from Inter-Fluve, and Jahziel Chase, a PhD student at Northeastern University. Students received advice about pursuing careers in STEM, learned what a typical day looks like at these organizations and institutions, and heard tips on navigating life's challenges. From turning negative moments into positive ones, working hard, and being yourself, our panelists dropped several tokens of wisdom at this special STEM event. Thank you to our panelists for sharing your stories with these students for an engaging and inspiring conversation. #STEMweek #careerpanel #careersinSTEM
