83. Purpose in passion: females discovering STEM careers

Purdue University is home to a mountain of research spanning a broad portfolio inclusive of agriculture, science, engineering, technology and much more. Those capabilities come loaded with a responsibility to identify areas for collaboration across their research enterprise as well as opportunities for corporate, state and federal partnership. Where does the research being done at Purdue University best apply in order to have a material impact on our world? That tall order falls into the hands of Theresa Mayer, Vice President for Research and Partnerships at Purdue University, who joins Gerry Dick from Inside Indiana Business on this week’s episode of the podcast.   Theresa gets candid about coming home to Purdue to work under Mitch Daniels, her great sense of responsibility toward making a difference and her passion and insistence that young women get involved with STEM careers early in their education.
