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?
