It was the obvious choice, Dr. Zabik said, to nominate Dr. Blackford for the Nebraska Women in STEM award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cShe\u2019s really great at getting other people curious and motivated about science,\u201d Dr. Zabik said. \u201cShe\u2019s really big on helping the next generation of scientists. She\u2019s here to be a leader and to advocate for science.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mentorship matters at the institute, Dr. Blackford said, and it\u2019s a space that values women in leadership. She\u2019s drawn inspiration from other females in her life, including her mother, a graduate school mentor and research collaborators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPathways are opening up, but there are still barriers,\u201d Dr. Blackford said. \u201cHaving one person who can validate your experience and give you support can help a talented person persevere and be successful.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jennifer Blackford, PhD, has been a longtime supporter of Nebraska Women in STEM and a frequent conference attendee.
