@DarthScience tells #NDiSTEM2024 Photonic's story, her superhero alter ego, as her life story. It's hard to recognize your own strength & what you bring to the table but we all have them and you can be the next real life SUPER SCIENTIST

Here's my message to young people: you wouldn't let a bunch of old people decide what music you're going to listen to or what clothes you're going to wear – so don't let them decide your future.

A reminder if you’re on the #WinWithBlackWomen call tonight:
It is OFF THE RECORD. That means you shouldn’t be sharing who is on the call or what is being said.
It’s great to be excited. We should be!
But let’s also try to protect the integrity of the space.
