Happy #WomensHistoryMonth! #WomenInSTEM 👷🏽‍♀️👩🏾‍🔬👩🏻‍🌾👩🏾‍⚕️👩🏼‍🚀 #STEMForAll

Today is the ⏰LAST DAY⏰ to sign up for the 2021 #GASP #sciencefair! Don't miss out on your chance to participate in real scientific research!

Fun read about opportunities at Pitt!

"Being a scientist means: New things to learn; That there will be some fails But not to ever give up; That I'd have to face many challenges during my career; It also means hard work. Most importantly it means trying to find new ways to help our earth." -Pre-scientist #STEMPenPals

It's ✨mentor match day!✨ Every #sciencefair group is assigned a scientist #mentor to help them complete their project. Scientists get mentorship experience and participants get to learn about science - it's a win-win! #GASP #scienceoutreach #sciengage

Mentor Spotlight! I grew up in the South Hills of Pittsburgh before going to Case Western Reserve University where I majored in Biomedical Engineering. I then joined Dr. Adam Straub's lab where I am studying the role of xanthine oxidase in hemolytic disease. -Heidi Schmidt

Take a look at the work that one of our mentors, Heidi Schmidt, is doing! ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

Mentor Spotlight! Shekina Gonzalez-Ferrer earned her B.S. at the University of Puerto Rico and is a Ph.D. candidate in the lab of Dr. Janet Lee. Her research focuses on macrophage immune dysregulation caused during stressed erythrophagocytosis and Klebsiella pneumoniae infection

Will you take home first prize? Only one week left to finish your poster!

The Greensburg Area Science Program (GASP) shows students in Greensburg, PA, that careers in science are possible for them through field trips, guest lectures, mentorship, and a yearly science fair. New blog from Amanda Kowalczyk @GreensburgSci ascb.org/careers/studen…

To gear up for our spring science fair, we've asked professors and graduate students from CMU and Pitt to film some short, fun videos about their research and careers. Check them out at rustbeltsci.org/2021-virtual-f…
