Скачать или смотреть Meet Dr. Arlyne Simon, a Biomedical Engineer

Dr. Arlyne Simon is a Biomedical Engineer, Inventor, Author and Entrepreneur from Dominica, a small Caribbean island, and now resides in Portland, Oregon. When she was five, Arlyne fell in love with science after conducting her first messy experiment at home, which fueled her curiosity and set her on a path to become a biomedical engineer.

Arlyne holds a Ph.D. in macromolecular science and engineering from the University of Michigan and an undergraduate degree in chemical & biomolecular engineering from Georgia Tech. She became the first person in her family to get a Ph.D., and graduated with an invention to her name! Recognized as a trailblazing female innovator by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Arlyne invented a blood test that detects when cancer patients reject bone marrow transplants. 

Her passion for healthcare has led her to design syringes, train clinical laboratory technologists in Kenya, help build supercomputers, and now design medical imaging equipment at Intel. Eager to inspire more girls to become inventors, Arlyne founded Timouns - a multicultural children's products company that creates picture books for kid inventors. Arlyne is also the author of the Abby Invents picture book series, which stars a girl inventor who invents unbreakable crayons and more! Arlyne hopes to challenge everyone to explore science and encourage them to be among the greatest of inventors, too!
