For impactful communication and commercialisation of science
Founder of a social enterprise and leading an entrepreneurship development programme
I was the first to get a PhD in astrophysics from a Lebanese university. I want to make sure that I'm not the last.
So in 2018 I founded She Speaks Science, to build a positive STEM idenity among the youth and highlight women scientists.
Supported by University of Cambridge and the International Astronomical Union, She Speaks Science grew into a global enterprise across 130+ countries. Our storytellers write about their STEM research in the monthly publication, Scheherazade, offered in five languages. Our mentorship programme PENTA offers a unique 1:1 interaction model among women and girls. We
also run fun and engaging storytelling workshops at schools.
I'm committed to the communication of science as well as its commercialisation for the benefit of humanity.
At Cambridge Judge Business School Entrepreneurship Centre I lead EnterpriseTECH, a programme that provides impactful entrepreneurial opportunities for academics to thrive beyond the lab.
