Often we consider these opposites that don’t mix, like oil and water. The reality is that the contrary is true. Innovation wouldn’t be possible without both creative and analytical thinking. Science and music connect in a way that allows us to create something beautiful, innovative, and inspiring. Together they provide personal growth, leadership and accountability opportunities, and community support.

For others, like **Sara Nochur**, working all day is a prelude to fundraising that enables young children in rural India to stay in school by providing them with homes, food, and shelter. Or for **Elizabeth O’Day,** it’s starting a non-profit organization that recycles electronics and uses the resale profits to build computer centers in orphanages around the world. If these sound like incredible feats, it’s because they are. And yet amazing people working in our local STEM community are doing those extraordinary things, and much more.  [Read More](https://info.westorg.org/blog/gba2018) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://info.westorg.org/blog/gba2018#comments-listing) Topics: [Events](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/events), [STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/stem), [Women](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/women), [Tech](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/tech), [Science](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/science), [Career](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/career), [Awards](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/awards), [Community](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/community), [Giving Back](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/giving-back), [Life](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/life), [Cambridge](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/cambridge), [Success](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/success), [Women in STEM](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/women-in-stem), [Networking](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/networking), [Upcoming Events](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/upcoming-events), [Female](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/female), [Balance](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/balance), [Making a Difference](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/making-a-difference), [Inspiration](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/inspiration), [Role Models](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/role-models), [Volunteer](https://info.westorg.org/blog/topic/volunteer) ## [unConference: The Economics of Being Female](https://info.westorg.org/blog/unconference) Posted by [Jaime Luna](https://info.westorg.org/blog/author/jaime-luna) on Oct 23, 2017 9:30:00 AM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://info.westorg.org/hubfs/Word%20Cloud%20-%20unConference.jpg) ](https://info.westorg.org/blog/unconference) Imagine going to a conference designed completely to meet your needs. That’s what an unConference is. This unConference will feature keynote speakers to get you thinking  about the economics of being female and how looking at the challenge from an economic view can positively impact your career. I n true unConference fashion, it has no agenda until the participants create it. You will decide what topics will be discussed by pitching solutions to the crowd for further discussions in breakout groups. You will share ideas, problem solve, hear multiple perspectives, and challenge the status quo with creative solutions. There is great diversity and experience in the Boston area and this is wonderful opportunity for you to share expertise and exchange innovative ideas in a supportive environment. This is self-directed learning at its best. The content is relevant and exciting because the agenda is created for you, and by you, in the moment.

What are the underlying economic reasons for these unfair outcomes for women who are working hard to both support their families and promote their careers?
