What happens when you blend fascination with origami, design, magnetics and toys?   Founder Assaf Eshet takes us into the world of Clixo and the company's award winning play packs in this Techstination interview with Fred Fishkin.

Techstination interview: Blending origami and magnetics-Clixo unleashes creative fun

The common advice for career growth is to “move up” into management — but what if your true passion lies in staying close to the technology itself?

In this episode, host Sam East speaks with Deb Whitis, Ph.D., and Amrita Maguire, both of the SWE Technical Career Path Affinity Group, about what it means to grow, lead, and make an impact as engineers while staying on the technical career path.

From developing nickel-based superalloys that power jet engines to advancing ergonomic standards and AI-enabled design, Deb and Amrita reflect on their careers and share how technical leadership can be just as influential as managing people. 

They also highlight the work of SWE’s Technical Career Path Affinity Group, including a new mentorship program helping women chart their own path as innovators, inventors, and subject matter experts.

Ep 344: Staying on the Technical Career Path: Engineers Leading Through Innovation

This week, we are discussing fertility treatment in the UK. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) recently published its Fertility Trends report which revealed that 1 in 32 births in the UK are a result of IVF.  To help explore this, as well as some of the science and policy surrounding fertility treatment, is Rachel Cutting, Director of Compliance and Information at the HFEA.

Women engineers often struggle to set boundaries or say “no” at work.

Srividhya Pallay and Tsega Tefera, solutions architects at Amazon Web Services, joined us live in the WE25 Diverse Podcast Studio to share real-world lessons around overcoming imposter syndrome, finding the confidence to speak up in meetings, and unapologetically protecting their time and energy in their STEM careers.

In conversation with Laurie Shuster, editor-in-chief of SWE Magazine, hear how to handle disagreements with professionalism and grace, calendar-blocking techniques to maintain balance, and go-to phrases to communicate boundaries effectively.

Ep 345: How to Say No at Work Without Burning Bridges

This episode I interviewed Dr. Bruce MacFadden, emeritus professor and former curator of vertebrate paleontology at the Florida Museum of Natural History. Bruce is the author of “Broader Impacts of Science on Society” and has helped pave the way as a true STEM broader impacts pioneer. Bruce discusses how things have changed since the publication of his book and shares advice for moving forward into the future. 

Small Talk: Broad Impacts- Bruce MacFadden Interview

This interview with Dr. Tom Devitt explores broader impacts programs geared towards undergraduate students, discussing mentorship strategies and fostering engagement with non-STEM major students. We also discuss the impact of online outreach vs. in-person events and the importance of experiential learning.
