Women in Stem with Ashley Hall

Drug Target Review

When I was studying cell biology, looking at how cells divide, I couldn’t fathom how math could possibly fit into that. My undergraduate studies focused on biochemistry and cell biology, so very much STEM-based, but my professors and mentors noticed my penchant for critical thinking which led me to consider law.
