Meet Joscelyn, a 2023 L’Oréal USA For Women in Science Honoree. She is studying uterine fibroids, and hopes her research will lead to better treatments. Watch above to learn more about Joscelyn’s work and the story behind the science.[A note from the scientist: "Women" is used in this video to reflect the terms that have been historically used to gender people. However, it should be acknowledged that not all patients with uteruses identify as women and uterine fibroids can affect people with a multitude of gender identities and expressions.]

Meet Taylor, a 2023 L’Oréal USA For Women in Science Honoree. She focuses on cell development, studying microscopic worms that allow her to look at cells changing in real time. Watch above to learn more about Taylor’s work and the story behind the science.

Meet Caitlin, a 2023 L’Oréal USA For Women in Science Honoree. She studies the fungi that live on our skin as a resource to identify new antibiotics. Watch above to learn more about Caitlin’s work and the story behind the science.

"In science, we are always building upon old knowledge, so you never know where the knowledge that you uncover will lead to next." #FWIS2022 fellow Dr. Margot Wohl is a neuroethologist at Johns Hopkins University.

“The L’Oréal For Women in Science Fellowship is allowing me to develop a class that I’m calling the Badass Babes of Botany.” #FWIS2022 fellow Dr. Marina LaForgia is a Plant Ecologist at UC Davis.

“I think representation makes all the difference; for me it only took one person. I would love to be that for even one other young person. I think that’s as important a part of legacy as the scientific work.” #FWIS2022 fellow Dr. Sandya Subramanian is a Biomedical Engineer at the Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute at Stanford University.

“What if we could predict natural disasters like landslides, anticipating where they will happen and where they will occur? That’s just one potential application of my research.“ #FWIS2022 fellow Dr. Sarah Burnett is a mathematician at UCLA.

“I would like to portray that you can take up space—that you should take up space. That it’s okay to chase your curiosities. And that women can do science, and do science well.” #FWIS2022 fellow Dr. Ashburn is a neuroscientist at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
