The PAM Talks is an interview series showcasing the voices of researchers who belong to traditionally underrepresented groups in Physics and Astronomy, specifically highlighting women and other gender minorities. If you were to ask a random person from the public, they would likely struggle to name even one woman scientist, let alone a physicist. Our mission is to address this lack of representation, increasing awareness among our audience about the diverse spectrum of researchers in physics and astronomy. We provide a platform for these researchers to share their work and personal experiences, fostering inclusivity and breaking down barriers in the scientific community.
We gratefully acknowledge support from the University of Calgary Graduate Student Association Quality Money grant program.

2.0.7 Mayte Li - Learning to climb: mountains and research
Mayte Li is a PhD student with Quantum City at the University of Calgary. Originally from Mexico City, she has found both challenge and inspiration in Calgary: from building quantum microscopes that harness entangled photons, to climbing in the Canadian Rockies. For Mayte, climbing and research share the same lessons: resilience, balance, and persistence in the face of setbacks. Along the way, she has built community and friendship, showing that science is not only about discovery but also about the people that make the climb possible.
Mentor: Mayte Li, PhD student at the University of Calgary
Host: Stefan Sura, Undergraduate student in physics at the University of Calgary
Edited and produced by: Josué Ibarra Molinas, physics PhD student, University of Calgary
