| 4/7/26 |  The Physicist Who Chose People Over Particles | Dr. Claire Malone is not your average physicist. She completed her PhD at the University of Cambridge, hunting for supersymmetric particles at CERN's ATLAS experiment, has met Stephen Hawking, and has since built a career dedicated to making science work for everyone, not just the few.Kelly Shungu sits down with Claire for one of the most thought-provoking conversations we've had on the show. Claire opens up about why she walked away from research after her PhD, how she navigated academia with cerebral palsy, and why AI is reshaping who gets a seat at the science table. She also introduces the idea of the "Culture of Speed" and makes a compelling case for why it might be the single biggest barrier holding STEM back.This one will make you rethink what success in science is actually supposed to look like.Resources Mentioned:Dr. Claire Malone's website: www.doctorclairemalonecomCourse: AI with InsightThe Lightyear FoundationFollow the Women in STEM Podcast:Host LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelly-ann-shungu/Podcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/women-in-stem-podcast/All Links: https://linktr.ee/womeninstem_podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/womeninstem_podcast/ Hosted and founded by Kelly Shungu.
