Hi Jiawen,
Thank you for your question. I am a Ph.D. candidate in plant biology at the University of Georgia. I am very passionate about science communication and outreach. I have been a content creator for a local science magazine, ‘Athens Science Observer’ for the last 3 years. Last year, I served as the outreach officer for ‘Women in Science @UGA’, another non-profit organization. I organized a panel discussion with UGA graduate students (all female) for the science club at a high school in Athens. I was also invited as a panelist by the students of Duquesne University to talk about my experiences of being a woman in STEM. I hope to continue to do more such events not just in graduate school but also later wherever my career takes me.
