Description

How does one go from being a B+ student who got dressed down by her 8th grade softball coach to the Division Director of the Earth Science Division at NASA? While this might sound like the plot of an inspirational Hallmark movie, this was real life for Karen St. Germain. In this interview, we talked with her about mentorship, the value of being able to communicate science, and how perserverance can pay off.
