It was such a joy to volunteer for this @Pharm4Good Reverse Science Fair led by @DelcySamuelle and Naman Srivastava. Thank you @ResearchAmerica for the civic science microgrant to make this science outreach event possible!
Went to a training this week and the question of whether scientists should be involved in sci-comm came up and only a few of us thought it was necessary. Today was a great reminder of why I do what I do. So enjoy some pics of my high schoolers rocking STEM! #pharm4GOOD
