Ware, an Assistant Curator in Invertebrate Zoology at the American Museum of Natural History, discusses her research on the evolution of insects (dragonflies, in particular), her journey of overcoming barriers throughout her education as an African American woman, and the importance of increasing access to science, technology, engineering, and math education for People of Color, young and old.
