As cardiovascular disease continues to be the number one killer of women, ensuring more women are at the forefront of developing science, technology, education and math (STEM) solutions has never been more imperative. The American Heart Association is offering a program to get more girls interested in STEM careers because much of the research on heart disease has been conducted by men on men and that has led to a health disparity between men and women. I spoke to Melanie Harris, COO of Communications for the School District of Philadelphia about STEM Goes Red.
