Exploring the World: Shah is Making Amazing Things Happen [Women to Watch]

When Rashmi Shah was young, she spent time helping her parents, both scientists, process and catalog samples of plant matter that they had collected. This wasn't a one-time occurrence. Growing up in Nepal in a math-and-science household, science and research were a natural part of Shah's daily life, with her parents constantly encouraging her and her brother to explore the world. "Those early experiences helped instill a thirst for knowledge and discovery that has stuck with me throughout my schooling and career," she says.
