We were invited by Isabella, a senior at Western Reserve Academy, to present for a session of her lecture series “Diverse Discoveries”, where the goal is to emphasize representation in the research community. We had a wonderful time presenting about our lab, what it means to be a researcher, and being a woman in STEM! It was a great opportunity to connect with new students and share our experiences in the field.
