Episode 3: I'm Every Woman ft. Dr. Jaye Gardiner and Dr. Danielle Twum

Happy Women's History Month from Scientifically Sound! It's a celebration on this side as we channel our inner Chaka Khan with her 1978 hit single "I'm Every Woman", in honor of the #IfThenSheCan exhibit. This exhibit highlights 120 women in STEM from all kinds of careers with 3D life-size statues! It is currently wrapping up its time at the Smithsonian, so I thought it would be cool to get a thought (or two) on the exhibit from two outstanding women who are IF/THEN ambassadors. Dr. Jaye Gardiner and Dr. Danielle Twum! We laugh, we learn, and most of all, we enjoy ourselves for this episode. Show notes and more information about our guests and the below.

Dr. Jaye C. Gardiner is a cancer biologist and illustrator who is passionate about STEM education and increasing representation. She received her PhD in Cancer Biology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and is currently completing her postdoctoral work at the Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, PA. There, she researches pancreatic cancer's tumor microenvironment with the hopes of understanding how the body's local environment communicates to support the tumor so future therapeutics may disrupt this communication. In addition to research, Jaye creates comics to make science more accessible as the co-founder of JKX comics.

Hailing from Ghana, West Africa, Dr. Danielle Twum received her B.A. in Biology from Vassar College where she studied the effects of climate change on coral bleaching. Danielle received her PhD in Cancer Immunology from the University at Buffalo where she studied the immunology of breast cancer metastasis. She currently works as a Business Development Manager at Genoskin all the while being a fabulous science communicator.  If she is not reading, you'll find Danielle enjoying Indian and Korean food, having a dance party to some old school Kpop or getting lost in the wormhole that is the BBC Earth YouTube channel.
