Celebrating UN International Women & Girls in Science: Dr. Ada X. Chen shares her perspective
Fast Takes – Episode 47
Welcome to a Fast Takes #WomenInScience podcast honoring the International Day of Women and Girls in Science celebrated on February 11, 2023. This United Nations initiative recognizes the critical role of women and girls in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields and calls for strengthening their participation. Kessler Foundation’s staff includes 70 percent female employees (compared with 30 percent national average in STEM) making significant contributions to rehabilitation research advances. Producer Joan Banks-Smith interviewed Dr. Ada X. Chen, PhD, MPH, postdoctoral fellow, Center for Employment and Disability Research, about leaving China to study in Scotland and the U.S., her work at the Foundation, and how mentors have influenced her career choices.
