In this episode, host Ana Cadete sits down with Zafira Castaño, a scientist, social entrepreneur, and mom, to discuss her remarkable journey.

During this conversation, Zafira provides insights on global education strategies, balancing motherhood with a demanding career, and the challenges women face in leadership roles. Tune in for inspiring advice, mentorship insights, and a peek into Zafira's work-life balance as a mother and leader in science!
