We are doing something a little different for today’s episode while Virginia is studying for her Step 2 exam! Frances highlights the amazing life of a scientist you should know: Dr. Marie M. Daly. Dr. Daly was an influential scientist, pushing through racial and gender bias to study chemistry. She was the first female African American to earn a PhD in chemistry in the United States. Dr. Daly continued her career, teaching biochemistry and researching subjects such as cellular components and heart disease. Throughout her career, Dr. Daly championed people of color to pursue higher education.
