00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:13,870
[Music]

2
00:00:21,820 --> 00:00:19,510
I first developed an interest in

3
00:00:26,109 --> 00:00:21,830
understanding evolution I was getting a

4
00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:26,119
PhD in chemistry and I started realizing

5
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:28,580
that public doesn't have an increased

6
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:30,410
understanding of evolution if any and

7
00:00:35,979 --> 00:00:33,650
with that I started an outreach project

8
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:35,989
where I translated evolution documents

9
00:00:42,190 --> 00:00:38,810
into different languages and a part of

10
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:42,200
this was a section on astrobiology and I

11
00:00:48,250 --> 00:00:44,210
didn't even know about the field itself

12
00:00:50,500 --> 00:00:48,260
and I I read about astrobiology and what

13
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:50,510
kind of questions it can address and I

14
00:00:57,130 --> 00:00:55,130
never back I studied chemistry in Turkey

15
00:00:59,650 --> 00:00:57,140
and I moved to the United States to

16
00:01:01,990 --> 00:00:59,660
study biomolecular chemistry during PhD

17
00:01:04,509 --> 00:01:02,000
and I was interested in enzymes I still

18
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:04,519
AM I left proteins and I was interested

19
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:07,490
in their behavior and later I want to

20
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:10,610
understand how they evolved and more and

21
00:01:15,190 --> 00:01:12,890
more my questions got bigger and the

22
00:01:17,140 --> 00:01:15,200
ability of the field as a whole or the

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:17,150
tools that be using chemistry or

24
00:01:22,389 --> 00:01:20,090
biochemistry felt limited so I did seek

25
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:22,399
different tools and in a way

26
00:01:28,809 --> 00:01:25,369
astrobiology was obvious direction for

27
00:01:30,489 --> 00:01:28,819
me not because of the title of the field

28
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:30,499
or the fact that there are a lot of

29
00:01:34,209 --> 00:01:31,969
different Sciences in it but the

30
00:01:37,389 --> 00:01:34,219
questions that I was interested in drove

31
00:01:40,090 --> 00:01:37,399
me to the field so it was inevitable why

32
00:01:42,849 --> 00:01:40,100
is life the way it is the way we see

33
00:01:45,099 --> 00:01:42,859
what through life - the way that we

34
00:01:48,999 --> 00:01:45,109
observe it now but kind of processes

35
00:01:50,679 --> 00:01:49,009
throw life I think understanding or at

36
00:01:54,219 --> 00:01:50,689
least making an attempt to understand

37
00:01:57,249 --> 00:01:54,229
are we alone why are we here what

38
00:01:58,870 --> 00:01:57,259
happened in the past to make our biota

39
00:02:01,059 --> 00:01:58,880
our whole planet to be the way it is

40
00:02:05,529 --> 00:02:01,069
however of the biggest questions you can

41
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:05,539
ask and the ability of having a field

42
00:02:08,980 --> 00:02:07,850
and reaching to scientists from

43
00:02:11,230 --> 00:02:08,990
different backgrounds that are

44
00:02:13,839 --> 00:02:11,240
interested in these questions is very

45
00:02:16,690 --> 00:02:13,849
exciting if you go back hundred years

46
00:02:18,699 --> 00:02:16,700
ago the questions that astrobiology is

47
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:18,709
trying to answer right now such as are

48
00:02:24,260 --> 00:02:22,250
we alone or regarded life come from how

49
00:02:26,660 --> 00:02:24,270
the life originates

50
00:02:29,930 --> 00:02:26,670
these were more questions related to

51
00:02:31,970 --> 00:02:29,940
philosophy and the fact that now we have

52
00:02:35,990 --> 00:02:31,980
the scientific tools to answer a

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:36,000
philosophically is very unique if you

54
00:02:41,180 --> 00:02:38,130
think about it we we want to understand

55
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:41,190
alien planets we want to find alien life

56
00:02:45,530 --> 00:02:43,890
life that is weird to us or life maybe

57
00:02:47,930 --> 00:02:45,540
that is gonna be very similar to what we

58
00:02:50,690 --> 00:02:47,940
have right now but we have no idea of

59
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:50,700
what happened on one life-forms that we

60
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:52,170
know the life-forms that we are familiar

61
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:54,450
with on our own planet if you think

62
00:02:59,660 --> 00:02:57,810
about it our past state this planet were

63
00:03:01,340 --> 00:02:59,670
also different stages of alien

64
00:03:03,590 --> 00:03:01,350
life-forms right

65
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:03,600
if you time-traveled to two billion

66
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:06,330
years ago that would be an alien life

67
00:03:11,570 --> 00:03:09,510
for you it would be an alien planet but

68
00:03:13,310 --> 00:03:11,580
how much of this past do we really know

69
00:03:14,090 --> 00:03:13,320
that how much of it do we really

70
00:03:17,060 --> 00:03:14,100
understand

71
00:03:20,750 --> 00:03:17,070
I think astrobiology is right now the

72
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:20,760
only field and NASA researchers I think

73
00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:22,650
are gonna be the ones that will be able

74
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:25,440
to help address these questions I also

75
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:26,970
at that time was reading a lot about

76
00:03:34,100 --> 00:03:30,959
evolution and one of the biggest ideas

77
00:03:36,620 --> 00:03:34,110
in evolution is the idea that whole life

78
00:03:38,210 --> 00:03:36,630
can be viewed as a tape and that we

79
00:03:40,580 --> 00:03:38,220
could perhaps you rind the tape and

80
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:40,590
replay it and whether this rewind and

81
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:44,310
replay mix of life tape with results in

82
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:46,770
the same way that we see it now how

83
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:49,050
repeatable is life itself and this was a

84
00:03:53,660 --> 00:03:50,610
thought experiment proposed by a

85
00:03:55,699 --> 00:03:53,670
biologist about 30 years ago and I

86
00:03:57,230 --> 00:03:55,709
wanted to give it a try and see perhaps

87
00:04:00,350 --> 00:03:57,240
you know can I develop an experimental

88
00:04:02,660 --> 00:04:00,360
system to address this and I wrote a

89
00:04:05,420 --> 00:04:02,670
grant proposal to the NASA postdoctoral

90
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:05,430
fellowship and I was denied the first

91
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:10,080
time and I I called the professors I

92
00:04:13,460 --> 00:04:11,850
called people in astrobiology field I

93
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:13,470
came to the Stroh biological Prince's

94
00:04:19,250 --> 00:04:17,010
and I asked for a frank response Frank

95
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:19,260
evaluation of my application I said tell

96
00:04:23,090 --> 00:04:21,690
me the biggest flaw that you see in this

97
00:04:25,100 --> 00:04:23,100
application tell me how can I improve

98
00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:25,110
this how can I get this better because I

99
00:04:30,860 --> 00:04:29,490
want this bad so they they were big you

100
00:04:32,930 --> 00:04:30,870
know they were very brutally honest

101
00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:32,940
which is good which is good and it was

102
00:04:36,220 --> 00:04:33,900
very constructive

103
00:04:39,130 --> 00:04:36,230
so I revised my application

104
00:04:42,030 --> 00:04:39,140
I fix the flaws I did more experiments I

105
00:04:45,130 --> 00:04:42,040
apply it again and then I was granted to

106
00:04:46,900 --> 00:04:45,140
fellowship with that and it was the best

107
00:04:50,980 --> 00:04:46,910
thing that ever happened to me

108
00:04:53,590 --> 00:04:50,990
as astrobiologist especially I would say

109
00:04:55,630 --> 00:04:53,600
that one of the most inspiring events

110
00:04:59,050 --> 00:04:55,640
was astrobiology graduate student

111
00:05:01,690 --> 00:04:59,060
conference at Brad comm and a bunch of

112
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:01,700
us you know we got together and we

113
00:05:05,020 --> 00:05:03,410
realized that we are not alone we are

114
00:05:07,270 --> 00:05:05,030
all interested in the same kind of

115
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:07,280
questions and we want to reach out to

116
00:05:13,840 --> 00:05:10,250
more people and that's how we formulate

117
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:13,850
it and then later conceived second net

118
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:18,170
and a tool to bring anyone who is

119
00:05:22,540 --> 00:05:20,090
interested in astrobiology regardless of

120
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:22,550
the background and age to join in an

121
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:24,170
online conversation about astrobiology

122
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:28,450
so this was 2011 of grad comm

123
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:30,890
astrobiology graduate student conference

124
00:05:35,260 --> 00:05:33,290
in Montana and we were all gathered

125
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:35,270
together in a room I remember the moment

126
00:05:40,030 --> 00:05:37,610
very clearly and we were talking about

127
00:05:42,550 --> 00:05:40,040
the lack of opportunities in order to

128
00:05:45,850 --> 00:05:42,560
reach to people who study astrobiology

129
00:05:47,610 --> 00:05:45,860
and our challenges and our friend

130
00:05:50,410 --> 00:05:47,620
grasshopper who is one of the cofounders

131
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:50,420
talked about his outreach project in

132
00:05:55,810 --> 00:05:54,080
Tanzania and he said that he would he

133
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:55,820
was travelling to Tanzania and starting

134
00:06:00,250 --> 00:05:57,890
this outreach program and talking to

135
00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:00,260
kids and he talked about the inability

136
00:06:05,290 --> 00:06:03,110
of the kids to find a mentor or a role

137
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:05,300
model and the inability of the mentors

138
00:06:10,930 --> 00:06:07,840
to travel to Tanzania at the same time I

139
00:06:13,450 --> 00:06:10,940
was organizing a workshop revolves with

140
00:06:16,450 --> 00:06:13,460
NASA Astrobiology Institute and during

141
00:06:18,910 --> 00:06:16,460
this workshop we realized that we have a

142
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:18,920
lot of international participants in

143
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:21,770
fact one of the participants were high

144
00:06:27,850 --> 00:06:24,170
school a group of high school students

145
00:06:30,820 --> 00:06:27,860
who apparently stayed up late so it was

146
00:06:33,370 --> 00:06:30,830
about 11 p.m. this is Turkey and they

147
00:06:35,980 --> 00:06:33,380
they emailed me saying that we be able

148
00:06:37,450 --> 00:06:35,990
to stay up late our teachers here we all

149
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:37,460
gathered in the conference so when we're

150
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:38,930
watching the workshop without holes and

151
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:40,160
we don't speak English but it's

152
00:06:44,620 --> 00:06:43,250
inspiring and III felt so emotional

153
00:06:47,230 --> 00:06:44,630
about this so I shared this story

154
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:47,240
grasshoppers sharing the other story and

155
00:06:52,029 --> 00:06:48,050
we realized that

156
00:06:54,339 --> 00:06:52,039
they're always interests in other side

157
00:06:56,409 --> 00:06:54,349
of this planet who wants to understand

158
00:06:59,350 --> 00:06:56,419
where we came from - you just don't even

159
00:07:00,490 --> 00:06:59,360
know that there is a field for them and

160
00:07:02,619 --> 00:07:00,500
what can we do about it

161
00:07:04,330 --> 00:07:02,629
so we said why don't we start an online

162
00:07:06,700 --> 00:07:04,340
tool where we bring all these people

163
00:07:09,490 --> 00:07:06,710
together let's add a outreach component

164
00:07:11,559 --> 00:07:09,500
let's add a grassroots component let's

165
00:07:13,899 --> 00:07:11,569
add a mentorship component and see Rael

166
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:13,909
evolves the product is stagnant

167
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:17,530
we have mentorship programs we have

168
00:07:23,529 --> 00:07:20,930
conferences very broadcast we have

169
00:07:27,219 --> 00:07:23,539
monthly talk to an astrobiologist future

170
00:07:29,469 --> 00:07:27,229
lots of internationals sign up they come

171
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:29,479
in they join they ask their questions we

172
00:07:35,170 --> 00:07:31,490
highlight one of our mentors every month

173
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:35,180
and it's nice because well one of the

174
00:07:41,860 --> 00:07:38,330
problems of graduate students who wants

175
00:07:44,020 --> 00:07:41,870
to mentor or who wants to inspire a

176
00:07:46,119 --> 00:07:44,030
younger person is simply the time

177
00:07:49,089 --> 00:07:46,129
commitment and their schedule not

178
00:07:51,939 --> 00:07:49,099
allowing it's ironic because we are

179
00:07:54,279 --> 00:07:51,949
familiar of this term coined second

180
00:07:55,870 --> 00:07:54,289
effects you do so much outreach that

181
00:07:58,450 --> 00:07:55,880
perhaps your science won't be taken

182
00:08:00,850 --> 00:07:58,460
seriously so we said okay let's let's

183
00:08:03,129 --> 00:08:00,860
take that second effect with the full

184
00:08:04,870 --> 00:08:03,139
astrobiologist spirits turn it around

185
00:08:07,839 --> 00:08:04,880
and make it positive and there's your

186
00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:07,849
second net I think doing outreach helps

187
00:08:13,149 --> 00:08:10,639
you to communicate yourself and what you

188
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:13,159
do better we have that role as

189
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:16,370
scientists you may not like it or you

190
00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:17,840
may like it but you have to do it we

191
00:08:22,689 --> 00:08:20,479
have a responsibility to taxpayers we

192
00:08:25,059 --> 00:08:22,699
need to explain to them what we do with

193
00:08:27,339 --> 00:08:25,069
their money why is that important how

194
00:08:29,140 --> 00:08:27,349
are we going to help them how are we

195
00:08:31,330 --> 00:08:29,150
gonna make their life better in the long

196
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:31,340
term or the short term and if we cannot

197
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:34,250
explain it to taxpayers it's it's gonna

198
00:08:38,079 --> 00:08:35,810
be problematic in the long run and

199
00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:38,089
that's something that scientists need to

200
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:41,360
learn so I was a part of this outreach

201
00:08:48,430 --> 00:08:46,010
mentorship program myself in 2014 this

202
00:08:51,069 --> 00:08:48,440
was in Pittsburgh high school in

203
00:08:52,750 --> 00:08:51,079
California the the high school teacher

204
00:08:54,730 --> 00:08:52,760
reached out to us and he said he wants

205
00:08:55,790 --> 00:08:54,740
to integrate astrobiology in his

206
00:09:00,670 --> 00:08:55,800
curriculum

207
00:09:05,930 --> 00:09:03,320
challenged in their background and could

208
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:05,940
use an opportunity like this where they

209
00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:08,730
can talk to scientists so we teamed the

210
00:09:13,490 --> 00:09:11,040
students up and we divided them into

211
00:09:16,370 --> 00:09:13,500
four groups and then we were assigned to

212
00:09:18,620 --> 00:09:16,380
each group where the idea was for us to

213
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:18,630
meet them every week and help talk about

214
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:20,730
an astrobiology concept this was all

215
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:23,970
online so no travel involved they came

216
00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:26,370
into a room such like this and then we

217
00:09:29,690 --> 00:09:28,320
put we asked them to put their laptop

218
00:09:32,509 --> 00:09:29,700
right in front of them and then we

219
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:32,519
talked about science concepts and with

220
00:09:38,180 --> 00:09:35,490
with my group we watched Neil deGrasse

221
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:38,190
Tyson videos we watched Bill Nye the

222
00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:40,649
Science Guy and these kids were coming

223
00:09:46,730 --> 00:09:44,399
from very challenging backgrounds and I

224
00:09:49,370 --> 00:09:46,740
could see in their attitude that almost

225
00:09:51,230 --> 00:09:49,380
like therapy from escaping from the

226
00:09:53,060 --> 00:09:51,240
reality of their daily life the

227
00:09:55,100 --> 00:09:53,070
challenges that they're coming from

228
00:09:56,569 --> 00:09:55,110
families they're immigrants you know

229
00:09:59,240 --> 00:09:56,579
backgrounds that don't fit in the

230
00:10:01,100 --> 00:09:59,250
society or they feel different and weird

231
00:10:03,470 --> 00:10:01,110
and it's really at that age anyway and

232
00:10:06,710 --> 00:10:03,480
as in science is so powerful in that way

233
00:10:08,569 --> 00:10:06,720
that it can especially it's I feel like

234
00:10:11,090 --> 00:10:08,579
astrobiology where you're literally out

235
00:10:13,819 --> 00:10:11,100
of this world in your mind that we could

236
00:10:16,730 --> 00:10:13,829
see the effect in them and they did

237
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:16,740
actually come up with a very cool final

238
00:10:20,569 --> 00:10:18,570
project and we are still in touch they

239
00:10:22,370 --> 00:10:20,579
write us cards and there one of them

240
00:10:24,530 --> 00:10:22,380
actually is coming out of college so

241
00:10:27,740 --> 00:10:24,540
it's pretty cool you can see the effects

242
00:10:29,780 --> 00:10:27,750
and how it can change and I know it

243
00:10:33,290 --> 00:10:29,790
because that's what astrobiology in

244
00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:33,300
science did for me so I even though I I

245
00:10:39,380 --> 00:10:36,270
was raised in a in an Eastern Muslim

246
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:39,390
family I wasn't raised no standards of

247
00:10:46,069 --> 00:10:43,410
typical I would say Muslim community

248
00:10:48,380 --> 00:10:46,079
very women are really not really a part

249
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:48,390
of the society my father was a big

250
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:50,130
supporter of women in science and women

251
00:10:53,990 --> 00:10:51,930
in technology in business and everything

252
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:54,000
he said just whatever you do be really

253
00:10:57,259 --> 00:10:55,050
good at it because that's your only

254
00:10:59,840 --> 00:10:57,269
choice because you're a woman he said a

255
00:11:01,550 --> 00:10:59,850
man could get a job without even a

256
00:11:03,889 --> 00:11:01,560
degree but everyone needs to have a

257
00:11:06,199 --> 00:11:03,899
diploma and that never left me

258
00:11:07,819 --> 00:11:06,209
he said they can take everything from

259
00:11:10,340 --> 00:11:07,829
you but not your education that's yours

260
00:11:14,270 --> 00:11:10,350
to keep so I was very dead

261
00:11:16,330 --> 00:11:14,280
and I had that in mind but then the

262
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:16,340
reality happens right then you meet

263
00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:18,930
already get integrated in a society that

264
00:11:27,740 --> 00:11:23,850
does not see women that way so it wasn't

265
00:11:30,140 --> 00:11:27,750
I went through phases I would say that I

266
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:30,150
don't see myself different I don't see

267
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:31,770
myself as a woman I don't see myself as

268
00:11:36,620 --> 00:11:33,810
a man I just see myself as a human being

269
00:11:39,470 --> 00:11:36,630
with curiosity so you don't understand

270
00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:39,480
why you get these challenges that feel

271
00:11:42,380 --> 00:11:41,130
it feels a bit wrong it feels a bit

272
00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:42,390
different that you don't really know

273
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:44,280
what's going on because you don't look

274
00:11:47,300 --> 00:11:45,810
at yourself and think you're weird

275
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:47,310
you don't look at yourself think you're

276
00:11:52,070 --> 00:11:49,010
different if you don't have that

277
00:11:56,570 --> 00:11:52,080
intrinsically in your upbringing but

278
00:12:00,410 --> 00:11:56,580
then it gets put in there so I was

279
00:12:04,070 --> 00:12:00,420
reading this code by Oprah who I love

280
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:04,080
she said that we do as women we need to

281
00:12:10,940 --> 00:12:08,130
spend a bit of time attaching things

282
00:12:13,820 --> 00:12:10,950
that don't belong to us and then we

283
00:12:16,460 --> 00:12:13,830
spent decades to undo what they did to

284
00:12:18,050 --> 00:12:16,470
us and this is all emotionally and I

285
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:18,060
think women hearing me will understand

286
00:12:22,010 --> 00:12:18,810
what I'm talking about

287
00:12:23,780 --> 00:12:22,020
I think women needs to keep that in mind

288
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:23,790
maybe early on that it's not it's not

289
00:12:27,410 --> 00:12:25,290
going to be easy I think if we accept

290
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:27,420
that you know it's gonna it's gonna be

291
00:12:32,330 --> 00:12:30,210
difficult it's gonna be hard I'm there

292
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:32,340
will be times where I will hate it but I

293
00:12:36,940 --> 00:12:35,250
can do it and compared to what I think

294
00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:36,950
the generation before us went through

295
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:40,350
our job is easier and think about that

296
00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:42,810
how hard it must be for them if this is

297
00:12:52,070 --> 00:12:48,930
the easy version I was flying to this

298
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:52,080
conference and I was sitting next to a

299
00:12:56,660 --> 00:12:54,330
woman who talked about his daughter

300
00:12:57,950 --> 00:12:56,670
daughter to me and she said that my

301
00:12:59,850 --> 00:12:57,960
daughter is interested in space just

302
00:13:02,640 --> 00:12:59,860
like you

303
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:02,650
I guess my TARDIS t-shirt with NASA logo

304
00:13:06,090 --> 00:13:04,210
and it kind of revealed that I like

305
00:13:08,430 --> 00:13:06,100
space so V that was the conversation

306
00:13:10,500 --> 00:13:08,440
starter and then she said that my

307
00:13:12,660 --> 00:13:10,510
daughter is nine years old and she's

308
00:13:15,210 --> 00:13:12,670
interested in space but I don't think

309
00:13:18,090 --> 00:13:15,220
she's going to make it I asked her why

310
00:13:20,370 --> 00:13:18,100
you say that and she said her school is

311
00:13:22,530 --> 00:13:20,380
very bad doesn't really have a good

312
00:13:24,540 --> 00:13:22,540
curriculum and teachers aren't that

313
00:13:27,870 --> 00:13:24,550
interested in teaching so I don't think

314
00:13:30,390 --> 00:13:27,880
she's going to succeed like you did so I

315
00:13:30,990 --> 00:13:30,400
turned to her and I said I come from

316
00:13:34,170 --> 00:13:31,000
Turkey

317
00:13:34,590 --> 00:13:34,180
I didn't even learn science like not

318
00:13:36,660 --> 00:13:34,600
level

319
00:13:39,150 --> 00:13:36,670
well there was not even real science

320
00:13:41,580 --> 00:13:39,160
curriculum in my high school no woman in

321
00:13:43,470 --> 00:13:41,590
my family made it to high school and I'm

322
00:13:45,300 --> 00:13:43,480
now at Harvard doing astrobiology

323
00:13:48,100 --> 00:13:45,310
research so if I could do it your

324
00:14:02,569 --> 00:13:48,110
daughter can do it

325
00:14:03,470 --> 00:14:02,579
