Description:

It is never too late to start over. That's exactly the testimony of Dr. Iris Wagstaff. She is a chemist, educator, mentor, researcher and science policy advisor with extensive experience in STEM outreach and advocacy.  She is also a thought leader and change agent in the broader STEM community.

After spending nearly 15 years in a successful industry career as a research chemist, she decided to leave that job and embarked upon a new path.  She would go on to earn a PhD in Science Education, be named a AAAS Science Policy fellow and serve as a STEM Program Director in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

Her inspirational and motivational story is one that all can benefit!
