We speak with Egyptian-American astrophysicist Sarafina El-Badry Nance about her experience earning a PhD in astrophysics. Before specializing in this field, she had to gain a good understanding of math, physics, and astronomy. She openly shares that these subjects never came naturally to her and it took a lot of hard work to get where she is today. Now, she’s speaking out about the barrier to entry in these fields and the importance of greater inclusion and opportunities for those who’ve been historically excluded.
