Show Notes
Originally from the West Indies, Cynthia Barnett, Ph.D., from Norwalk CT,
retired at age 59 to pursue the question--Why Are There So Few Women in the
Sciences? Cynthia became CEO and founder of a non-profit program--Amazing
Girls Science-- whose goal is to ignite the spark in girls for STEAM (science,
technology, art, engineering and math). As a STEAM champion, Cynthia won the
Inaugural AARP Purpose Award and the Community Innovation and Leadership
Award for the Connecticut Technology Council. At age 79, Dr. Barnett says she
“leads a vibrant, purpose-driven life” with many new initiatives underway,
including intergenerational programs and robotics. She lives her life as a “thank
you.”
We need to catch girls at a young age to bring them into the sciences. - Cynthia Barnett PhD
