I wouldn't go as far as to attribute my ENTIRE career to Bill Nye, but I definitely enjoyed watching his show as a kid which helped nurture my interest in science. He was one of the many science teachers I had that made the subject engaging.

I personally would not say that it encouraged my entire career, but I am grateful for your efforts to bring people into the scientific community, we should always be grateful to educators.

Hi everyone! I’ve been working as a product manager in an internal consulting department at Kaiser Permanente a on software product that maps and automates clinical workflows. Although my title is a consultant, my role entails the usual responsibilities of a PM (prioritizing builds and features, identifying business requirements, mapping user journeys and stakeholder management). Does anyone have any advice on ways to break into tech or suggestions of companies to look into?
