Welcome to the Breaking Barriers series of our A Little Louder Now podcasts. During this series, Alex and Alicia shine a light on two trailblazing women in a different themed topic each month. These two take their fangirling seriously and are excited to share about women who broke down barriers and reached back to pull up the next generation. For April's theme, we chose Science Mavens. This month we are shining a light on two amazing women who broke barriers in their respective fields in science. Our featured Science Maven for this episode is Stephanie Kwolek, the woman who discovered Kevlar. We celebrate Stephanie's contributions to science and all the ways her work made the world a safer place for all of us with her incredible discovery. Alex and Alicia are excited to take you on a journey through Stephanie's life. Take a listen!
