Busting the myth about girls and science.

girls and science

“Science is everywhere…” ~Dr. Deborah Berebichez

Are girls receiving a message from culture that they
aren’t meant for science?  Dr. Deborah Berebichez (aka “the Science Babe“) is working her buns off to dispel that myth and teach young people that science can be a very fun, and attractive discipline.

DebbieBerechez250 Raised in a conservative community in Mexico City, Deborah was the first Mexican woman to complete a Ph.D in Physics at Stanford University. And now, she’s inspiring others to fall in love with science by showing the world what a ball it is to know how stuff works. From the physics of high heels to the nanotechnology of fashion, this spitfire smartie is taking her male-dominated field by storm. (And parents of girls…there are some special pointers for you.)

    I really enjoyed this interview and especially Kathleen’s comments. There’s a great message to take away from this interview and anyone with a daughter would benefit from listening to it. Deborah is inspiring!
