Often, food and agricultural science aren’t top of mind when it comes to STEM industries. The reality is, these two STEM industries should be one of the first we consider as they impact every aspect of our lives. If you eat, you should be informed about what you eat and what are your best options. You should know about sustainable growing practices, quality of food, and the science behind providing you and your family with the best, most nutritious options.  [Read More](https://info.westorg.org/blog/if-you-eat-you-should-know-) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.westorg.org/blog/if-you-eat-you-should-know-#comments-listing) Topics: [Boston](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/boston), [Community](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/community), [Inspire](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/inspire), [Business](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/business), [Inspiration](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/inspiration), [#WESTevent](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/westevent), [Equity](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/equity), [Female Representation STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/female-representation-stem), [Conversations](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/conversations), [Earth Day](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/earth-day), [Agriculture](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/agriculture), [Food Science](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/food-science) ## [Stop Wondering & Start Living Into Your Wonder](https://info.westorg.org/blog/stop-wondering-start-living-into-your-wonder) Posted by [Courtney Cyron](https://info.westorg.org/blog/author/courtney-cyron) on Jan 10, 2024 2:51:43 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.westorg.org/hubfs/2024-01-17%20Wake%20Up%20%26%20Wondershift%202x1.jpg) ](https://info.westorg.org/blog/stop-wondering-start-living-into-your-wonder) When we stop to set goals, especially around the new year, we typically start with a vision of who we want to become, what we want to do, or how we want to improve. Then we’re often left wondering how to achieve those goals. If you’re ready to move your goals out of the wondering stage and into the action stage, you won’t want to miss Judy Goldberg’s upcoming workshop: “Wake Up & Wondershift: A Journey to Personal Transformation.” [Read More](https://info.westorg.org/blog/stop-wondering-start-living-into-your-wonder) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.westorg.org/blog/stop-wondering-start-living-into-your-wonder#comments-listing) Topics: [Boston](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/boston), [Community](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/community), [Inspiration](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/inspiration), [Career Path](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-path), [Self-Awareness](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/self-awareness), [Confidence](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/confidence), [Personal Branding](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/personal-branding), [Challenges](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/challenges), [Career Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-development), [Empowerment](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/empowerment), [Self-Reflection](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/self-reflection), [#WESTevent](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/westevent), [Purpose](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/purpose), [Identity](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/identity) ## [WEST Leadership's Winter Traditions](https://info.westorg.org/blog/west-leaderships-winter-traditions) Posted by [Courtney Cyron](https://info.westorg.org/blog/author/courtney-cyron) on Dec 12, 2023 12:20:27 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.westorg.org/hubfs/WEST%20Winter%20Traditions%20Cover%20Image.jpg) ](https://info.westorg.org/blog/west-leaderships-winter-traditions) > This time of year many of us are celebrating a diverse range of traditions, with common themes of joy, community, and generosity.

These events are approximately once per month, with each event usually having a sponsor host in their company’s space. This constant moving of the event allows for a different atmosphere and new people to network with each time. The atmosphere, appetizers, and drinks are all great reasons to attend, but the real value lies within the community that gathers together for each event. “I love when corporations in the heart of the innovation hub here in Cambridge/Boston generously provide their locations. The inspirational surroundings help create a vibrant atmosphere that fosters both professional and personal conversations. Having been a WEST virtual mentor this past year, I particularly enjoyed meeting some of my mentees and fellow mentors at the events, helping to strengthen those relationships,” shares Jocelyn Dunphy, WEST Member.  [Read More](https://info.westorg.org/blog/building-more-than-just-a-professional-network-at-wow-events) 1 Comment [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.westorg.org/blog/building-more-than-just-a-professional-network-at-wow-events#comments-listing) Topics: [STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/stem), [Boston](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/boston), [Communication](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/communication), [Community](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/community), [Networking](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/networking), [Relationships](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/relationships), [Career Path](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-path), [Career Development](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career-development), [New Opportunities](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/new-opportunities), [#WESTevent](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/westevent) ## [Lessons Learned from April-June 2019 WEST Events](https://info.westorg.org/blog/past-events-2019-q2) Posted by [Jaime Luna](https://info.westorg.org/blog/author/jaime-luna) on Jun 28, 2019 8:34:00 AM -
