For #LatinxHeritageMonth, we’re thrilled to highlight Dr. Ana María Porras Corredor (@AnaMaPorras), an assistant professor at @UFBME, @ifthenshecan ambassador, and fierce advocate for #InclusiveSciComm! Originally from Colombia, Dr. Porras Corredor came to the US to follow a dream of being a biomedical engineer. After obtaining a BS, MS, & PhD in the field, her lab now focuses on using engineering to study how microbes cause diseases in humans. She also actively works to share the benefits of microbes through her crocheted #sciart in English and Spanish online (@anaerobias ), through her teaching as a professor at @UFBME and through her outreach with Clubes de ciencia (@CdeC_col). Dr. Porras Corredor is such a fierce advocate for multicultural/lingual communication that in addition to co-founding @LatinxInBME, the first @storycollider event hosted all in spanish was thanks to her efforts as an #IfThen ambassador. Thanks for all you do Dr. Porras Corredor! . PS: If you’d like to help support Dr. Porras Corredor ( @AnaMaporras ) and @CdeC_Col and/or crochet your own microbe, you can make a donation at http://bit.ly/ClubesGuajira!
