We discuss her trajectory towards the stars and her experiences navigating gender and cultural dynamics in STEM in Korea, the US, and Star City in Russia. Dr. Yi also speaks about her time in space and the colorful story of the tradition of the welcome apple upon her return back to Earth. Last but not least, we touch on the necessity of diversity in engineering and space science, as well as Dr. Yi's advice for folks interested in pursuing a similar path.
