Girls' Science Day at Columbia

All Of It with Alison Stewart | Oct 19, 2023

Girls' Science Day is coming up at Columbia University. This fall’s event will be held November 11th, with experiments and demonstrations to spark middle schoolers’ curiosities, and show them science has no gender. We talk to Girls' Science Day co-chair Caitlin Therien, also a PhD student in biomedical engineering, about the event and the importance of getting girls involved in science from a young age.
