Curiosity made her feel different. Now it's the reason she's making a difference.

Dr. Karen Davidowitz Corbin didn't grow up knowing scientists.

She grew up in Puerto Rico watching Wonder Woman reruns, playing with a toy microscope, and asking questions no one around her could answer.

That curiosity led her into nutrition research and eventually to founding Geeks That Speak, helping kids and scientists find their voice.

In this episode, she shares how parents, teachers, and even failure shaped her journey and how one small moment can spark a child's future.

Swap fear for curiosity and help your kids dream bigger. Tune into the full episode: ▶ ️ Shaping the Future: Dr. Karen Davidowitz Corbin on Breaking Barriers and Inspiring Young Innovators.
