The women of Mars in STEM related careers persistently push boundaries as they solve complicated problems with new ideas, methods and technologies that are positively impacting the way we do business. Tina Blackmore Science Engagement Research Partner Cui Wang Global Microbiology Research Scientist Lauren Belomy Digital Transformation Lead Valorie Maldonado Senior Engineer of Process Development Climate & Land Senior Manager Tina Blackmore, a science engagement research partner at our Waltham Centre for Pet Nutrition in Waltham, UK, communicates the significance of research findings to different audiences spanning consumers and industry. Tina made STEM a career after completing a PhD and transitioning from academia. What does she love most about her role today? “In the morning, I might be talking to visiting chemists about Waltham before going into a meeting to discuss how to communicate new research to fellow Associates. The afternoon could then be rounded off with a global phone call with Associates from the other Mars Petcare brands about a new event where we are taking animal science to kids and students. Every day whizzes past and it would be impossible to get bored doing this,” Tina says. Tina advises young women who are interested in pursuing STEM to stay true to what you enjoy.“There are so many jobs and careers out there that you won’t know about. Every experience, the good and the bad, is an opportunity to learn.” Tweets about #WomenofMars since:2018-03-01 DOING BUSINESS WITH PURPOSE Mars approaches all of our business with The Five Principles – Quality, Responsibility, Mutuality, Efficiency and Freedom.
