Over time, I\u2019ve seen how easily that curiosity can be pushed aside by busy lives, social expectations, financial constraints or limited access to science-curious peers. What inspired me to stay in STEM was realizing that curiosity, drive and passion are not temporary, they\u2019re personal assets you get to own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How does your work impact patients, students or the community?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy work focuses on turning advanced technology into shared opportunities for discovery, innovation and impact. By building and leading imaging and analysis resources at UNMC, I help researchers translate complex biological questions into high-quality data, forging scientific discoveries capable of improving therapies and patient outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEqually important to me is helping people recognize their own potential. Throughout my career, I\u2019ve worked with learners ranging from elementary and high school students to undergraduates, graduate trainees and professionals, including helping educate over one million international middle school students through science education initiatives. When people are given access to science, tools and mentorship, they gain confidence in their ability to ask questions, solve problems and shape their own futures.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What\u2019s one problem in your field you\u2019re excited to help solve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HeatherSmith7021026-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-129765\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HeatherSmith7021026-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HeatherSmith7021026-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HeatherSmith7021026-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HeatherSmith7021026-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HeatherSmith7021026-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/HeatherSmith7021026-900x600.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">\u201cI\u2019ve always been driven by curiosity, wanting to understand how things work and what\u2019s happening beneath the surface,&#8221; Dr. Jensen-Smith said.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne challenge I\u2019m deeply invested in solving is the common misconception that having advanced instrumentation automatically means advanced science. Discovery depends on the scientific knowledge to design rigorous experiments, interpret complex data and ask meaningful questions. Without that foundation, even the most sophisticated tools can be underutilized. In other words, advanced instruments don\u2019t guarantee advanced science. Driven, curious people with access to advanced technologies do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy investing in access, education and shared infrastructure, we maximize return on research investment and ensure discoveries translate into real benefits for science, medicine and our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What advice would you give to young women considering a STEM career?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cProtect your curiosity. Curiosity, drive and passion are powerful assets that belong to you. Life circumstances will change, but curiosity, drive and passion can carry you through uncertainty, opening doors you didn\u2019t even know existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re considering a STEM career, know that staying in science is possible and rewarding when you find environments that value collaboration, mentorship and growth. Scientific careers often aren\u2019t linear, and that\u2019s a strength, not a weakness. Whether you remain in research, move into technology, education, leadership or something entirely new, thinking like a scientist will serve you for life. Furthermore, science is better when diverse voices choose to stay engaged.\u201d<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\" title=\" nMyP qwYTxYqFw \"><!--  nMyP qwYTxYqFw  --><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Curiosity, drive and passion are powerful assets that belong to you,&#8217;
