The Power Of Context In Raising Awareness Of Science with Dr. Jayshree Seth, Ph.D.

Science is all around us and is part of our daily lives, but somehow it has been undervalued, put behind the scenes, and underappreciated - that's what we have to change.

This week, Coach Kirsten Franklin speaks with 3M’s first-ever Chief Science Advocate appointed in 2018, Dr. Jayshree Seth, Ph.D., as she discusses the power of context in raising awareness of science.

Listen as she shares about her background and role as a Chief Science Advocate, what 3M is doing to support STEM education, and what they do to portray science in a more positive light especially for youth and women who are interested in going into the STEM industry.
