This week, it's a tale of two women! Mallory tells the story of her grandmother, a Japanese American who was sent to the internment camps during WWII, and compares her life to our featured scientist, Ruby Hirose, who was also Japanese American living during WWII and whose scientific breakthroughs would lead to many medical accomplishments, like the polio vaccine.
