That discovery? It was like hearing the universe breathe for the first time. She’s now the Dean of Science at MIT — and one of the few openly queer women of color in physics leadership. Nergis doesn’t just make history — she opens doors. know her name.   #knowhername #nergismavalvala #womeninphysics #thefemalefactor #neweraofleaders #leadershipredefined
