It’s important for me to share that there are so many brilliant women at NASA, on station, and supporting station, and that there’s a place for women here at NASA. I’m excited to see what the future looks like for space exploration and how we have evolved to better reflect what our society is, and how we can all be represented.” - Rachel Where to find Rachel and follow the SCIENCE on Station:  Twitter | NASA.gov | Watch NASA Explorers: Microgravity
