This is powerful. This is courage. This is heartbreaking.

Democratic senator @EvaBurchAZ announced on a floor speech that she needs an abortion. She shared her story and gave remarks about how cruel Arizona’s laws are to women.

CNN aired a short clip last night, but it’s important for folks to hear all of her remarks. Please take the time & consider sharing.

This is Dasia Taylor.

As a 15-year old in high school, she invented a new type of suture that changes color to show if a wound is infected. Her invention has the potential to save millions of lives.

Dasia started when she was just 17, after her chemistry teacher showed her information about state-wide science fairs. Through research, she read that in developing countries around 11 percent of all surgical wounds develop infections, compared to just 2-4% of all surgeries in the US. Those infections often cause serious complications and can even lead to death.

In the US, there are advanced sutures that can connect with mobile phones to show if a wound is infected, but in poorer countries, that technology isn’t available. After experimenting with different substances and compounds, Dasia found the perfect solution:

Beet juice! Human skin is naturally acidic, but when wounds become infected, they have a higher pH level. Taylor discovered that beet juice was a natural indicator and when applied to a surgical suture, it would change color from bright red to dark purple.

She went on to win several regional science fairs, then became one of the finalists for the prestigious Regeneron Talent Search, one of the world’s oldest STEM competitions.

Today, she’s the CEO of her own company, was named Woman of the Year by USA Today, and runs what she calls the “head nerd brand.”

She’s still only 19.
