In part one of our Women in Stem series we met Christina, Lola, Erika and Eva, all doing outstanding work around the globe. In part II, we meet Laura, Nikita, Erin and a more in-depth look at Christina’s work.
Laura Guertin is a Professor of Earth Science who eschewed traditional scientific mediums to blend her scientific insights with her hobbies of quilting and knitting. Although worried she would lose credibility by doing so, she was embraced by her colleagues. Laura was one of 100 female scientists selected for the INSIGHT into Diversity Inspiring Women in STEM Award. She is a U.S. Congressional Citation honoree and received a U.S. Senate Certificate of Special Recognition for her participation in NOAA’s hydrographic field season. She is truly a unique and remarkable individual.
