When 28 survivors of the 2002 Bali bombings arrived at Royal Perth Hospital with severe burns covering much of their bodies, there was one surgeon the team turned to. 💗

Meet Dr. Fiona Wood, a plastic surgeon, scientist, and the co-inventor of spray-on skin.

She developed a technique that takes a patient's own skin cells, grows them in the lab, and sprays them directly onto burns, generating new skin in as little as five days. Less scarring. Faster healing. More relief.

After Bali, she treated 28 critically burned survivors saving many lives. She was named Australian of the Year in 2005.

She says healing is about more than the wound, it is about restoring a person's sense of self. 💗

With all the event excitement, it has been a bit since we have showcased one of our own , but boy do we have a treat for you! She started with a science project and ended up on the Black Enterprise's 40 Under 40 list. 🧬✨

Meet Dasia Taylor, inventor, entrepreneur, and CEO and Founder of VariegateHealth. As a high school student in Iowa, Dasia noticed that the materials used to detect wound infections were expensive and inaccessible for much of the world. So she figured out a different way using the natural color-changing properties of beet juice to create low-cost, biodegradable sutures that change color when an infection is detected. Simple. Brilliant. Life-saving.

What does she love most? Inspiring young people to be their authentic selves and stay curious. And when she is not changing medicine, Dasia hunts for vintage vinyl and visits arcades because she is, in her own words, a child at heart. 🎵🕹️

We are proud to celebrate a young Black woman building a business rooted in science, access, and love for her community. 💗

Hey, girl. This one is for you. 💗

The one who just started a new school year, or is about to. The one who is starting a new grade, or even their first college course. We know starting a new year can be scary, but we're here to remind you that you've got this!

You're building for your future and sometimes that comes with bumps in the road, but you are built to conquer and succeed!

Some of the most extraordinary women in STEAM will tell you that they struggled too and we can all learn from their stories of their journeys. We hope we are a place you can come to, dig deeper into the women we share, and come out even stronger!

We will keep showing up for you—one post, one event, one role model at a time. 💪🏽💗

Behind some of the most important medical breakthroughs in history is a name you might not know yet. 💗🧬

Here are 4 amazing women whose work in medical science and health innovation has changed what healing looks like for burns survivors, cancer patients, blind people, and millions who lived through a global pandemic.

Their tools are different. Their impact is the same. Check them out! 👉🏽

She lost the aunt who raised her to cancer at 22. She watched her uncle suffer through chemotherapy. And she decided: there has to be a better way. 🧬💗

Meet Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green, one of the first African American women to earn a PhD in Physics, and the inventor of a cancer treatment that could change medicine forever.

Her Laser-Activated NanoTherapy targets cancer cells with engineered nanoparticles and laser light destroying tumors while leaving healthy tissue unharmed. In studies, a single 10-minute treatment eliminated tumors in mice in 15 days, without chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery.

To ensure her treatment stays affordable for everyone, she founded the Ora Lee Smith Cancer Research Foundation, a nonprofit, to fund her path to human clinical trials. 💗

This , we celebrate a Black woman whose business is saving lives. 💗

"You really can change the world if you care enough." 💗

These words are from Marian Wright Edelman, a civil rights activist, founder of the Children's Defense Fund, and the first Black woman admitted to the Mississippi Bar.

She has spent her life fighting for the children most often left out of the rooms where decisions are made. And she believes caring demands action.

GLAM exists because people cared enough to show up for girls. 💗

One of our favorite things about GLAM? The moment a mentor and a mentee connect. 💗✨

There is something truly special about watching a young woman sit with a girl that is just a few years younger and become the role model that she needed. No fancy title. No decades of experience. Just someone a little further down the road saying: I see you, I was you, and here is what I know. 🌟

That connection is at the heart of everything GLAM does. And if you have ever been in one of our event rooms, you know exactly what we mean.

Be on the lookout for future events to have that opportunity to become a mentor. We would love to have you. 💗

The world is full of questions that only someone willing to go looking for the answers will ever solve. 🌊🌿🚀✨

GLAM is celebrating 4 women whose science takes them to the most extraordinary places on Earth and beyond! The deep ocean, the Amazon rainforest, the Mongolian desert, and the surface of other planets. Their curiosity is their compass. Their discoveries are changing what we know about the world we live in.

Swipe to meet them and get to know the amazing things the have done and continue to do. 💗

Summer is a season for exploration. For getting outside, trying something new, asking a question you have never asked before, and discovering what you are made of. 🌊🌿✨

We are so proud of our girls that were involved with GLAM June 2026. They took their free time and chose to do something meaningful with it. That passion is the foundation of every great scientist, engineer, artist, and leader. It is what drives girls to take the science class nobody else is taking, to build the thing nobody told them they could build, and to keep going when the answer does not come easily. 💗

As the school year comes, remember to always challenge yourselves and never give up!

She grew up in Sri Lanka dreaming of becoming an adventure scientist. In 2003, a chance encounter with blue whales off her home coast changed everything. 🐋💗

Meet Dr. Asha de Vos! Sri Lanka's first deep sea explorer and pioneer of blue whale research in the Northern Indian Ocean. When she noticed that Sri Lanka's blue whales were not migrating like every other population in the world, she launched the Sri Lankan Blue Whale Project in 2008 and later founded Oceanswell, Sri Lanka's first marine conservation research and education organization.

In 2026, her portrait was featured at the United Nations General Assembly alongside her words: "They told me I was not capable, so I made a discovery that changed the world." 💗
