'Sparkly scientist' gives NASA speech in sequin dress and goes viral for inspiring girls
A scientist who dressed for a speech in a glamorous gown at the behest of a group of young girls has gone viral for inspiring other young “sparkling geeks.”
“Cleaning out my closet, I came across this gown and remembered the little girls who sent me a letter and asked me to wear something sparkly for a talk I gave at NASA so they could believe that scientists could also be sparkly,” she wrote on Twitter alongside a photo of the dress. “I figured, ‘You know what? I’m gonna do it,’” she says. “I think it’s important to know your audience and the point of that talk was to inspire kids to think about reinventing systems that they’re going to grow up into.”
