As we close out Clean Beaches Week, we want to highlight an inspiring #WomaninSTEM Meet Ashanti Johnson. She's the first African American female chemical oceanographer (ever!) and the first African American to earn a Ph.D. in oceanography from Texas A&M University. For the better part of two decades, Johnson has worked to bridge the gap for historically underrepresented communities in STEM fields. Our mission at JerseySTEM is to expose middle school aged girls to new experiences and opportunities in STEM and help to encourage them to explore careers in STEM related fields, so that they can follow in Dr. Johnson’s footsteps!

It's Upcycling Day! We love examples of innovation, especially when it helps protect the planet. Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea takes upcycling to a new level by turning ocean debris into an eye-catching message. When on display at Smithsonian's National Zoo, Dennis Kelly (Zoo director) said, "We're excited to bring conservation science and art together to connect our visitors to the impact of trash on ocean health." Have you seen an example of upcycling? Try upcycling before recycling today and let us know what you create! #JerseySTEM #STEM #upcycling #ConservationScience #conservation #ocean #OceanCleanup @smithsonianzoo 📷 Washed Ashore: Art to Save the Sea @washedashoreart https://buff.ly/3XDvLn1
