Boss Ladies of Science

You have a choice as to whether you will make this world a better place, even in a small way. - Jane Goodall, Primatologist

Boss ladies conquer in this celebration of inspiring and empowered female scientists from around the world. At the top of their fields of astronomy, quantum physics, neuroscience, vaccinology, primatology and more, boss ladies, including Mae Jemison, Merritt Moore and Kiara Nirghin, answer big questions and invent grand solutions.

Every boss lady was once a little kid with a huge dream. Let their trials and triumphs inspire you to work hard at what you love, and to believe in yourself, no matter whether you fail or succeed.

Embrace your interests, your passions, and really give it your all! - Jennifer Doudna, Biochemist
