At 50, she had lost her job and many in her community told her: You won’t find a job at this stage in your life and career. Well, spoiler: she found more than a job, she found place to thrive as a scientist, as a leader. She has become a passionate advocate for STEM as a career path beyond academia.

- Work 50+: Nancy openly discusses the challenges and prejudices she faced when she lost her job at 50 – and how she found a new professional home at Zeiss, proving that it's never too late to start a new role in an environment, where age and experience are valuable assets.
