Here is a sneak peak of our virtual internships! NexGeneGirl Niyah is getting to know her mentor Heather from Abbvie. Their research will focus on the genetic engineering of immune cells to target and kill tumors. They just found out that they are both early birds and night owls!

This Friday, NexGeneGirls will host a career panel with Fiona Mack, Elena Leon, Sonu S Baral, and Lynette Chea! We are super excited to hear from this incredible group of women and learn about their journeys as women in science! #NexGeneGirls #WeCommitToChange #womeninstem

At our last NexGeneGirl meeting, we discussed the importance of female representation in STEM. NexGeneGirl Victoria wants to encourage young women in STEM to seek support amongst one another and create a more diverse STEM community in which everyone feels safe and valued.

Today concludes the NGG Science Journal Workshop series. Thank you to Sarah Odeh and Mirko Montanari from YWIB SF Bay Area for teaching the NexGeneGirls how to break down research articles into a more digestible format! #NexGeneGirls #WeCommitToChange #girlsinstem

The NexGeneGirls Ambassadors, Samaa Rasheed and Eyuche Okorie, will be facilitating a College tips workshop on Monday, July 5th! We are super excited to discuss college essays, scholarships, choosing majors, and more! #NexGeneGirls #girlsinstem #wecommittochange

NGG Tip: Apply to financial aid early to get more aid! "Being the first in my family to seek higher education makes it difficult to find help. After the NGG college workshop, I feel more prepared for the financial aid process.” - Jamillah Keys #nexgenegirls #wecommittochange

High school student NexGeneGirl MeyaJanelle spent the summer researching the benefits of PROTAC and its treatment for serious disease. Thanks to Paramasivam Natarajan from AbbVie, who provided guidance and mentorship during her internship. For more, visit califesciences.org/nexgenegirls

NexGeneGirls Give Back. “It’s important to help the next generation of girls because providing support... in science is essential to seeing more women in this field,” - Jaline Chan. Jaline meets NexGeneGirl Jaqui weekly to review science journals and assist with presentations.

“Pay yourself 10-20% of every paycheck” is advice given by Elaine Redus at the NGG Financial Literacy Workshop. NexGeneGirls believes in holding conversations about money and building successful leaders by educating our interns. #girlsinstem #nexgenegirls #wecommittochange

Only a few days left until the NGG summer celebration, where the girls will share their research projects with mentors, family, and friends. The ambassadors are working 1 on 1 with the girls to help prepare for the final presentations! #nexgenegirls #wecommittochange #girlsinstem
