Thank you to climate change researcher, leader, advocate, and explorer @VSHerrmann for sharing your #IfThenSheCan statue with @SecondGentleman and me in @SIGardens. It was a pleasure to host you both. On view through Mar. 27, the exhibit raises the visibility of women in STEM.
In honor of International Women’s Day, I made a visit to the @Smithsonian's #IfThenSheCan exhibit. The 120 orange statues celebrate the contributions of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. What a powerful reminder of how women are changing the world.
