For five women at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratories, inspiring girls and women to pursue STEM is an official part-time job.

DOE announced up to $52.5 million for Industrial Assessment Centers that help manufacturers improve efficiency, save money, and reduce emissions.

Five phenomenal NNSA women are setting a new standard and forging an atypical path that other women and girls can look to for inspiration in STEM.

International Women’s Day is March 8—a day to celebrate women’s achievements, raise awareness against bias, and take action for equality.
