Happy #International Day of Women and Girls in Science. This year, I was asked to record a video to talk about what a scientist do and bring some contemporary role models to elementary school kids in my home country, Spain. Cute flyer of what they learn (in Spanish)
I also want to take this opportunity to highlight our 100% women-led lab. I am inspired daily by each of these ladies. Simona Plesselova, Kristin Calar, Hailey Axemaker, and Amrita Bhagia, you are all strong role models.
Promote, empower, highlight, and support women and girls to pursue careers in science. #WomenInSTEM
Feb 7, we stand together to raise #HeartHealthAwareness join in by wearing red! We also celebrate all #ECMatrix science as it is vital research that deepens our understanding of #Women’s No. 1 killer worldwide. Prioritize #WomensHeartHealth & make a difference!
