Perception of Aerospace Engineering in Female Students – Research
As 2SistersinSTEM we are incredibly interested in the perception of STEM in young people. I specifically am intrigued by the current thoughts and perception of Aerospace Engineering in female identifying students. I am studying Aerospace Engineering at university and an one of very few females on my course. I am currently looking into how to…
University During Covid-19
Maisie here! I have now come to the end of my first semester of my final year of university and I thought I would don my best Christmas jumper for the occasion! I study Aerospace Engineering at the University of Sheffield and had a year out to do my internship in 2019-2020. It has been…
Peak Hike To Plane Crash Site
One of the many perks of going to university in Sheffield is being so incredibly close to the Peak District. I have been to the peaks a few times in my first and second year but not ever for a proper ‘Duke of Edinburgh’ style hike. So a few weeks ago some friends and I…

Why Physics – What Inspired Me To Study Physics?
Hi, Lily here! Today I’m going to be chatting about why I decided to do a Physics degree. What inspired me and ultimately how I made my decision to apply to university to study Physics. Did I listen to my head or my heart? Were there any particular events or moments which helped me make…
How We Became 2 Sisters Working In STEM
So how did we become 2 Sisters In STEM? What paths did we take to get where we are today? We thought a good way to kick off our blog would be to do a proper introduction and tell you a bit about ourselves. The journeys we have followed from school, through A Levels, to…
Welcome to 2 Sisters In STEM!
Hi! We are Lily and Maisie, two sisters who have managed to muddle our way to start careers in STEM. There have been ups and downs, brilliant achievements and difficult challenges but all those experiences have led us to where we are today, and we hope sharing our stories will make it all seem a…
