Episode notes
Megan Shimon is a senior electrical engineer who has spent most of her career generating signals that she could not see, feel, or touch. Now she's writing code that animates an MRI patient table, and she's not going to pretend that isn't kind of great. In this episode, Megan and Lizzi discuss asking for what you’re worth (and more!) at work, why becoming a Mom made her a better engineer, and what she'd say to a friend that’s thinking about leaving engineering — including what to do when the problem involves someone being a word-that-rhymes-with-creole.
Shout outs from Megan:
- Society of Women Engineers (SWE): swe.org
- Gardening – inspires her Southern soul
- Star Trek Discovery — seriously, watch it!
