STEM conferences have a dirty little secret they don’t discuss. Science education has lacked justice for decades. You went to MIT? Great, play with all the expensive equipment you want. You went to a community college? Here's a textbook with some nice pictures. Good luck in your science career. The numbers are embarrassing. Around 15% of colleges possess what one would refer to as research-grade instruments. In fact, almost 85% never even get close to the tools they’ll need in their jobs. Think about that. Would you trust a surgeon who learned from YouTube videos or a pilot who only used flight simulators? For some reason, it was thought okay to educate scientists without letting them work with real scientific tools. Then remote labs came, turned everything upside down and all.
