Student Spotlight
The Incubator’s Student Spotlight series aims to introduce young, aspiring scientists to topics that spark their curiosity. High school students interview scientists, challenge misconceptions about science and scientists and explore connections between science, technology, art, and society.
Rockefeller University graduate students join in the conversation – focusing on science and society, and what it is like to conduct scientific research at the bench. Our RU guest bloggers translate their research to a broad audience, and ultimately separate the science from the hype.

“Presenting students with diverse STEM role models is a key factor when helping them develop their own STEM identities. So why do we always push the "science guys?"”. Back in December 2018, 8th graders from West Prep Academy joined the #RockEDU team for a routine LAB Experience. After revealing their dearth of exposure to female scientists, @jeannegarb called on the Twitter community to share successful, brilliant and accomplished female scientists that could serve as role models for young women. The response was overwhelming and humbling.
