From Emily Graslie: “My feelings about some of the major issues women face in science, wrapped up in one spoken word poem.”

The Brain Scoop is one of my favorite things on the internet. Partly because of her enthusiasm and sheer brilliance but mostly because I get to learn something new with each visit. 

And Emily, through her journey further and further into the public eye, handles herself just as I would expect her to. With her wit, intelligence, and sheer passion for what she does and who she is.
