This Women-Driven Field is Changing Healthcare
Recently, a 10-year-old girl wrote an opinion piece in the New York Times about her desire for girls to raise their hands more often in class. As a mother of twin 9-year-old girls, it sparked a lot of conversation at home. I read this as a call to action for young girls across the country to claim their space early in life. This led me to think about my own career path as a woman, and how I got here. While women are still grossly underrepresented in the world of science and technology, there is one field where we are leading the entire industry forward. You see, I am a genetic counselor, and 95 percent of us are women.
