Have you ever wanted the opportunity to talk directly with diverse professionals in the STEAM field? Now is your chance! In this program, we\u2019ll get an inside look at the lives and careers of guest speakers from a variety of backgrounds, whose stories may not fit the mold of an \u201caverage\u201d professional in their field! Join us to learn about the barriers, successes, and unique experiences they\u2019ve had on their journeys.<\/em><\/p>\n This month, we\u2019ll learn more about Molecular Biology with Dr. Ver\u00f3nica Segarra.<\/b><\/p>\n Ver\u00f3nica Segarra, PhD.<\/strong>, is Associate Professor, Faculty in Residence, and Endowed Chair in Biological Sciences and Chemistry at Goucher College, a small liberal arts college in Baltimore, Maryland, where she teaches undergraduates to be life scientists in the classroom and in the research lab. Ver\u00f3nica obtained a doctorate in Molecular Biophysics and Biochemistry from Yale and obtained her undergraduate degrees from the University of Miami in Coral Gables, FL.<\/p>\n Ver\u00f3nica was born in Puerto Rico, where she was raised by amazing women. She tries to take her inspiration from them in her roles as a teacher, mentor, and scientist. Her favorite part of her job is to see her students carve out careers that are tailored to their passions, talents, and values. In her free time, she pursues her artistic interests and engages in science outreach.<\/p>\n Professional Previews will take place on Zoom. We recommend this program for middle school and up, but all ages are welcome.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Have you ever wanted the opportunity to talk directly with diverse professionals in the STEAM field?
