We discuss the barriers to her participation in science, and describe why she would be such a fitting presence on our currency– not just because she was a woman, not just because she was a scientist, but because she broken down barriers.<br> Sign the petition!!!  http://www.barbaraonthebill.com/<br> Like the podcast?  Please subscribe and review!<br> <a href="http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=68340&amp;refid=stpr"> Stitche</a>r       <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-biotech-podcast/id1006329802">iTunes</a>   <a href="https://player.fm/series/talking-biotech-podcast">Player FM</a><br>
