Welcome to a Fast Takes #WomenInScience podcast honoring the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Celebrated on February 11th, this United Nations initiative recognizes the critical role of women and girls in science and technology communities and calls for strengthening of their participation in STEM fields. Did you know that today, just 30% researchers are women, and only 35% of all students enrolled in STEM-related fields of study are women? At Kessler Foundation, 70% of our staff are women making major contributions to the advances we achieve in rehabilitation research that changes the lives of people with disabilities.
Episode 17 features Dr. Michelle Chen, post doctoral fellow in our Center for Neuropsychology and Neuroscience Research. Producer Joan Banks-Smith interviews Dr. Chen about her scientific background, how she chose her career path, the research she is currently involved with, and advice to women in the same field.
