Women in Stem Panel

Join us for a powerful 60-minute episode of Red Planet Live featuring trailblazing women in STEM—Janet Ivey, Janeya Griffin, and Amy Imhoff—as we dive into the complex realities of building careers in science, space, and technology.

In this episode, we’ll unpack the recent public reaction to Blue Origin’s announcement of an all-women spaceflight crew, and what it reveals about gender dynamics in the space industry. From media backlash to public perception, we’ll explore how this moment fits into the broader narrative of women pushing boundaries in aerospace.

Each of our guests brings a unique and inspiring background:
🚀 Janet Ivey – celebrated science communicator and founder of Janet’s Planet, inspiring youth through space education.
🔬 Janeya Griffin – innovation strategist and founder of The Commercializer, helping bridge the gap between government technology and commercial application and co-founder/CEO of Equity Space Alliance.
🌌 Amy Imhoff – STEM advocate, author, and space futurist, known for her work in science fiction and space policy intersections.

Together, they’ll share their journeys, accomplishments, and the hard-won lessons learned navigating the male-dominated sectors of STEM and space exploration. We’ll discuss mentorship, representation, systemic barriers, and how each of these women is shaping the future of humanity beyond Earth.
