While leading a hands-on engineering project in her son's
elementary school, researcher and biotech engineer Sarah Foster
noticed fewer girls raising their hands or jumping into the
activities than the boys. Surprised to see a gender gap at play at
such a young age, she decided to do something about it. She founded
STEM Like a Girl in 2017 with the goal of introducing young girls
to the fun and rewarding fields of science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM). In her first book, Sarah captures 35
girls from her program expressing their love of all things STEM,
Each girl speaks to her inspirations and role models, her favorite
types of experiments, and why failure is almost always a good
thing. Along with these profiles are 15 experiments girls can do at
home on their own or with adults including extracting DNA from a
strawberry, employing Newton's Third Law of Motion to build and
fire an air cannon, and enacting acid-base chemistry to create
homemade fizzy bath bombs.

Clinical Psychology Online and offered as a free PDF download from
OUP and selected open access locations. The theory of mentalizing
and epistemic trust introduced by Peter Fonagy and colleagues at
the Anna Freud Centre has been an important perspective on mental
health and illness. Mentalizing and Epistemic Trust is the first
comprehensive account and evaluation of this perspective. The book
explores twenty primary concepts that organize the contributions of
Fonagy and colleagues: adaptation, aggression, the alien self,
culture, disorganized attachment, epistemic trust,
hypermentalizing, reflective function, the P factor, pretend mode,
the primary unconscious, psychic equivalence, mental illness,
mentalizing, mentalization-based therapy, non-mentalizing, the
self, sexuality, the social environment, and teleological mode. The
biographical and social context of the development of these ideas
is examined. The book also specifies the current strengths and
limitations of the theory of mentalizing and epistemic trust, with
attention to the implications for both clinicians and researchers.
This book will be of interest to historians of the human sciences,
developmental psychologists, and clinicians interested in taking a
broader perspective on psychological theory and concepts.
