May-Britt Moser is a Norwegian psychologist and neuroscientist. Dr. Moser pioneered research on the brain's mechanism for representing space. She won the Nobel Prize in 2014 for her discovery of grid cells in the entorhinal cortex and several other space representing neurons that make up the positioning system of the brain. Moser's work gave the ability for scientists to gain new knowledge into the cognitive processes and spatial deficits associated with human neurological conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.

Gomez is currently one of the leading ladies in tech. She was one of the first Latinas working at Google and Youtube, and then she became a founding member of Twitter’s International team, where she led Twitter en Español. Being underrepresented in the tech world and experiencing discrimination, Gomez decided to do something about it, founding (and acting as CEO of) Atipica in 2015.

She was one of the most popular actresses of her day and starred in 30 Hollywood films during the 1930s and 1940s.

Sau Lan Wu is a Chinese American particle physicist. Wu was a key contributor to the discovery of gluon – an elementary particle that acts as the exchange particle for the strong force between quarks - a fundamental constituent of matter. For her effort, Wu and her collaborators were awarded the 1995 European Physical Society High Energy and Particle Physics Prize.

Sara Seager is an astrophysicist and planetary scientist at MIT. Professor Sara Seager's main research goal is to find and identify another Earth. Her research has introduced many new ideas to the field of exoplanet characterization, including work that led to the first detection of an exoplanet atmosphere. She was part of a team that co-discovered the first detection of light emitted from an exoplanet and the first spectrum of an exoplanet.

Jennifer Anne Doudna is an American biochemist. Doudna has been a leading figure in what is referred to as the "CRISPR revolution" for her fundamental work and leadership in developing CRISPR-mediated genome editing. In 2012, she and a colleague were the first to propose that enzymes from bacteria that control microbial immunity could be used for programmable editing of genomes. This discovery is now considered one of the most significant discoveries in the history of biology.

The world’s “next Albert Einstein” is how Harvard University describes Sabrina Gonzalez Pasterski. Sabrina is a Cuban doctoral student at Harvard studying high energy physics, black holes and spacetime. Her work has been cited by Stephen Hawking. By the time Sabrina was 13, she had learned how to fly a plane, built her own aircraft, and flown it solo.

Dr. Jane Wright was the first woman to be elected president of the New York Cancer Society. Dr. Wright's father was one of the first African American graduates of Harvard Medical School, and he set a high standard for his daughters. Dr. Jane Wright analyzed a wide range of anti-cancer agents, explored the relationship between patient and tissue culture response, and developed new techniques for administering cancer chemotherapy. By 1967, she was the highest ranking African American woman in a United States medical institution.

Mae Jemison is an American engineer, physician, and former NASA astronaut. She became the first black woman to travel into space when she served as a mission specialist aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour. She holds several honorary doctorates and has been inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame and the International Space Hall of Fame.
