    Ep 363: Rethinking Failure With WE Local Dublin Keynote Audrey McCormack
    Apr 14 2026
    Audrey McCormack, opening keynote for WE Local Dublin and senior director, research & commercialisation facility lead at MSD Ireland, discusses how engineers can turn failure into a powerful career advantage in this episode. In conversation with host Sam East, Audrey reflects on her unconventional path from electrician to biotech leader and shares how the moments that didn’t go to plan shaped her resilience, confidence, and leadership style. Hear how to pursue STEM roles when you don’t meet every requirement, rebuild confidence after a failure, and create space for your team to take risks — even in high-stakes technical environments. Audrey will expand on these insights as the opening keynote at WE Local Dublin, taking place April 23-24, 2026. WE Local conferences bring together engineers and technologists for networking opportunities, professional development, and inspiring conversations like this one.

    Ep 362: “Survivor 48” Star Eva Erickson on Engineering, Hockey, and Breaking Barriers
    Apr 7 2026
    Competing on Survivor might seem worlds apart from earning a Ph.D., but Eva Erickson proves that the grit required to succeed in STEM can translate anywhere! In this episode, Eva shares her experience as the first openly autistic contestant on Season 48 of Survivor and as a Ph.D. candidate in engineering at Brown University. She discusses how her analytical mindset helped her tackle challenges on the island, as well as her experience breaking barriers as the captain of the men’s hockey team at Brown University. In conversation with Karen Horting, CEO and executive director of the Society of Women Engineers, hear how Eva blends science, competition, and advocacy — plus her advice for women engineers and allies who want to pursue authentic and multifaceted career paths. — The Society of Women Engineers is a powerful, global force uniting 50,000 members of all genders spanning 85 countries.

  • Ep 361: Engineering Across Borders: Global Connections for Women in STEM

    Ep 361: Engineering Across Borders: Global Connections for Women in STEM
    Mar 31 2026
    When women and allies in engineering connect globally, they strengthen the entire community. In this episode, host Abosede Adewole, collegiate engagement lead for the SWE Global Women Engineers Affinity Group, is joined by Banisha Prinja, lead-elect, and Eshika Mahajan, professional development lead, to discuss how they have built relationships with engineers around the world and the benefits they have gained from these global connections. They open up about their experiences as women in STEM, from navigating industries where they were the only women in the room to finding commonalities across their experiences in Nigeria and India. Hear why a global perspective matters at the local level, what to do when you don’t “feel ready,” and how participating in SWE’s Global Women Engineers Affinity Group has grown their networks and leadership skills.
