00:00:00,020 --> 00:00:01,820
It's one thing to get women through the door.

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,213
It's a whole different thing to be able to sustain them once they get through.

00:00:09,269 --> 00:00:14,099
I'm Dr. Christyl Johnson. I am the deputy center director for technology and research investments here

5
00:00:14,099 --> 00:00:17,680
at Goddard Space Flight Center, and I'm responsible for shaping the missions of the future in

6
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:24,780
astrophysics, Earth science, heliophysics and planetary science, and then developing a technology portfolio of investments to

7
00:00:25,060 --> 00:00:30,100
make sure that those technologies are ready in time for those innovative missions.

8
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:35,555
For this year's Sustaining Women in STEM roundtable, we are going to focus on the culture shift that's going to be

9
00:00:35,603 --> 00:00:36,800
necessary in order to get organizations ready to

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:42,180
take advantage of the innovative youth that are coming out of school these days.

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:49,120
Once you've gotten them through the door, how are we shifting the culture, internal to our organizations,

12
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,820
so that we can actually sustain a diverse workplace?

13
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,300
In order for us to create, in order for us to innovate,

14
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,360
there must be diverse people coming to the table.

15
00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:05,740
People with different backgrounds, different exposures, different experiences bringing their uniqueness to the table.

16
00:01:06,100 --> 00:01:10,100
That's the way that we're going to innovate. So we've got to focus on

17
00:01:10,380 --> 00:01:12,280
what can we do globally to

18
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:13,700
shift the culture

19
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,500
so that this is the right place for innovation?
