A frustrating aspect during this #COVID19 pandemic: knowing there’s an army of grad students, postdocs + other scientists v. well trained to run RNA extractions & PCRs - many could volunteer for #Covid_19 Dx testing & support our health systems, but r left twiddling thumbs @ home

Our co-founder @mkamariza2002’s story highlighted in an @NPR piece by @elandhuis. What an inspiring journey!👩🏾‍🔬 #WomenInSTEM #womenentrepreneurs

[Esther Wei-Yun Landhuis @elandhuis]

On #WomenInSTEM day, I remember & celebrate three scientists who entrusted me to chronicle their journeys:
1. @mkamariza2002 (Mireille Kamariza) worked w/ @CarolynBertozzi @Stanford_ChEMH to develop & commercialize a quick, low-cost TB diagnostic @OliluxB

We are so proud our co-founder @CarolynBertozzi is getting recognized for her achievements! Amongst her many talents, she has a heart of gold and stellar vision for the future as we tackle TB detection in the most endemic places of the world #endTB #stopTB

[C&EN (Chemical & Engineering News) @cenmag]

.@CarolynBertozzi's role in pushing glycoscience forward is undeniable, but peers are quick to stress the broader impact of the scientists she’s trained. As her life gets busier, she remains dedicated to raising new generations of glyco evangelists. https://t.co/mr9ATIyrCI
