DR. MARYAM ZARINGHALAM
SCIENCE COMMUNICATOR AND BIOLOGIST

Dr. Zaringhalam, a molecular biologist and AAAS Science and Technology Fellow, believes that science belongs to everyone, so she works to connect science to the public. She wants scientists from diverse backgrounds to feel included and supported in science. She works on policies to help scientists share their research with the public and coaches them on how to use stories to connect with audiences.
