Scholar Recognition 2021

Keynote: Dr. Kelly Stevens speaking on Engineering Social Innovation

Every year we honor high school senior girls who excel in math, science and technology.  This year’s celebration will be virtual as we recognize 36 young women from all over the Seattle area for their achievements.  All the girls have sent in short videos of themselves and we have a great keynote speaker. 

Dr. Kelly Stevens, Assistant Professor of Bioengineering, Lab Medicine and Pathology at the University of Washington, will be speaking on Engineering Social Innovation.  Specifically she will talk about her role in a network of academics calling on national funding agencies to address disparities in their support of Black researchers.  She has written a recent paper in Cell, entitled “Fund Black Scientists.” 

Dr. Stevens’ graduate research was funded by the National Science Foundation and in 2016 she was recognized as an outstanding scientist when she received the Wellcome Trust Image Award.
