What do 'Perseverance', 'Curiosity' and 'InSight' all have in common? Dr. Farah Alibay of course! She has either witnessed (as a NASA intern) or been a key component of launching many rovers to Mars to help us answer many questions about the Red Planet such as: what does the deep interior look like? was there ever life on Mars? Tune in hear about her journey, her take on STEM education for girls, and her awesome job at NASA JPL. Fun fact: she even dyed her hair red once to celebrate landing on Mars!
