Join us for Season 4 of our Women in STEM series! This month, our
featured Women in STEM speaker is Dr. Diana Azzam, a cancer treatment
researcher who helps patients with difficult to treat cancers find
personalized treatment options tailored to their specific disease. As
a kid, Dr. Diana knew from the moment she walked into a chemistry lab
that she had found her calling. She went on to earn her Bachelors in
Chemistry, a Masters in Biochemistry, and a PhD in Biochemistry &
Molecular Biology. She is now the Scientific Director for the Center
for Advancing Personalized Cancer Treatments (CAPCT) at Florida
International University. Join us for a fun and inspiring chat to
learn about Dr. Diana's path into cancer treatment, how cancer cells
work, how she figures out which treatments can help patients the most,
and her favorite science "wow" moment in the lab.
Cost: $4 (In council), $6 (Out of Council) includes mailed Fun Patch
or Rocker Bar.
Badge/Patch information:
Registered Girl
Scouts will receive a central fun patch for their first virtual Women
