Episode 21: Gender Inequality in STEM Fields
In this episode of MCU Generation Unscripted, we’re diving into an urgent and inspiring topic: Gender Inequality in STEM Fields Despite remarkable progress in science and technology, deep gender gaps still exist in STEM. For instance, only 11% of astronauts are women (NASA, 2024), and women hold just 26% of STEM jobs in the U.S. (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2023). These numbers reveal systemic biases that need to be addressed. Our student hosts — Seb, Marcus, Matt, Long, and Hai — explore the challenges women face in STEM and why representation truly matters. Drawing inspiration from trailblazers like Amanda Nguyen and their Vietnamese heritage, they call for more inclusive innovation and support for women pursuing careers in science, tech, engineering, and math. This episode is a passionate call to action: let’s break barriers, empower women, and redefine the future of STEM—together.

Episode 20: Life of College
In this episode of MCU Generation Unscripted, we’re diving into a relatable and meaningful topic: Life of College — Making Friends in an International Environment. Starting university can be exciting but also challenging — especially when you're surrounded by people from different countries, cultures, and languages. In this episode, students from the International Studies department share their honest stories about making friends, overcoming social anxiety, and adjusting to campus life in a multicultural setting. Through a relaxed roundtable discussion, they talk about how joining clubs, playing sports, and simply staying open-minded helped build real connections. The episode also touches on important sociological ideas like belonging, communication, and cultural understanding. Whether you're a new student, an exchange student, or just someone curious about college life, this episode is all about growth, connection, and the joy (and awkwardness) of making friends in a global campus community.
