Cristian Massacesi: We must continue to push for a common baseline of opportunity in STEM and ensure that everyone is inspired by the role of STEM in our future world

Cristian Massacesi, Chief Medical Officer and Oncology Chief Development Officer at AstraZeneca, recently posted on LinkedIn:

“As a proud father of three wonderful daughters, obviously I want the very best for them – to be happy in their education and find a fulfilling career where they can utilize their natural talent and learned skills, and follow their dreams.

I was the first in my family to pursue a career in medicine – and I was fortunate how they supported me 100% to follow my heart.

As we mark International Day of Women and Girls in STEM, it’s a reminder to us all that we must continue to push for a common baseline of opportunity in STEM and ensure that everyone – regardless of gender – is inspired by the role of STEM in our future world. Moreover, that they can be encouraged to enjoy these topics during their education, and to see these opportunities as a potential rewarding future career. ”
