Sitting down with Scholars 27

What happens when a researcher asks the question nobody’s been asking for sixty years? This week on Sitting Down with Scholars, Danny Lucas shares her journey from doubting she could be an engineer to becoming the first person in her lab to include female subjects in hemoglobin toxicity research. Growing up watching her father save lives as a doctor in Venezuela, Danny wanted to help people—but on her own terms. Now her PhD work is revealing critical sex differences in how our bodies respond to treatments, challenging decades of male-only medical research. From navigating misogyny in academia to creating Formula 1 content that breaks stereotypes, Danny proves that the most important scientific breakthroughs often start with someone brave enough to ask: “What about the other half of the population?” Music: endless by chillity is licensed under a Creative Commons License. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... https://shorturl.at/G08Vv / chillitymusic / chillity Support by RFM - NCM: https://bit.ly/2xGHypM
