Originally from the West Indies, Cynthia Barnett, Ph.D., from Norwalk CT retired at age 59 to pursue the question–Why Are There So Few Women in the Sciences? Cynthia became CEO and founder of a non-profit program–Amazing Girls Science– whose goal is to ignite the spark in girls for STEAM (science, technology, art, engineering and math). As a STEAM champion, Cynthia won the Inaugural AARP Purpose Award and the Community Innovation and Leadership Award for the Connecticut Technology Council. At age 79, Dr. Barnett says she “leads a vibrant, purpose-driven life” with many new initiatives underway, including intergenerational programs and robotics. She lives her life as a “thank you.
”We need to catch girls at a young age to bring them into the sciences. – Cynthia Barnett PhD
