Science Like A Girl – Inventor and Author Arlyne Simon

Smore Science

I was an observer more than a nerd,” Arlyne said, “learning that you can be creative in different elements of your life.”. They settled on chemistry. When Arlyne’s father heard physics was a struggle, he “happened” to pass a bookstore and buy a book Physics for Dummies for them to work through together.
