Instead of fairy tales, I ask little girls what excites them and let their curiosity lead. More women in science means more innovation, ethical AI, and better health outcomes. How do we break barriers and support them?

When we warn the real threat of AI is how it’s used against people in the present, not the fantasies that some day computers might think for themselves, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about: health insurers using AI to deny care.

Whispers drown in the noise of the crowd,
Facts debated, yet truth stands proud.
Silence won’t shield us from what’s real,
Speak for science, let knowledge heal.

Science does not care about politics, science does not change to please anyone. And it is our responsibility to keep advocating.

Oh, blue sky, don’t look away,
We need your light to clear the way.
For if we fall to fear’s embrace,
We risk undoing time’s own pace.

Progress once a guiding star,
Now dimmed by echoes from afar.
Are we moving forward still,
Or bending backward, bending will?

Voices falter, signals fade,
Truth entangled, trust betrayed.
Hospitals strained, systems fray,
Care denied, lives slip away.

Once, we built with steady hands,
Bridges strong, and careful plans.
Now the cracks begin to spread,
Warnings lost, left unread.

Oh, blue sky, vast and free,
Why do you feel so far from me?
Your endless stretch, a hopeful hue,
Yet shadows creep into the view.
