Our leaders have contributed to various STEM fields in extraordinary ways and each have shown they have the GRIT and hard-work ethic needed to succeed in this industry. Our collaborations with Athena, Talencio and our outstanding advisors are instrumental to achieving the Nebula’s goal of recognizing the achievements of women in science. We are excited to follow the journeys of these women as they lead the future of our scientific community.
