从小接触科学将激励更多的女性涉足科学领域。
分子生物学家丽迪雅·维拉-科马罗夫（Lydia Villa-Komaroff）说，为了鼓励更多的女性从事科学事业，应当让她们从小就接触科学。
她说：“女孩如果从小学科学，就会一直都对科学感兴趣。”
维拉-科马罗夫在上高中时，参加了在得克萨斯州泰勒市（Tyler）举办的国家科学基金会暑期科学培训计划（National Science Foundation Summer Science Training Program）并从此爱上了科学。她后来在麻省理工学院（Massachusetts Institute of Technology）获得博士学位——成为获此殊荣的第3位美国墨西哥裔女性。
今天，维拉·科马罗夫是一家公司的首席科学官——这家公司的仪器设备将用于细胞的分拣和净化，使细胞不会被人体的免疫系统排斥，而在骨髓移植手术中就经常出现这种排斥现象。

To Have More Women Scientists, Get Them While They’re Young
Earlier introductions to science will entice more women to enter the field.
To encourage more women to pursue careers in science, engage them while they’re young, says molecular biologist Lydia Villa-Komaroff.
“When girls do science as kids, they can maintain interest,” she says.
Villa-Komaroff fell in love with science in high school, when she attended a National Science Foundation Summer Science Training Program at Texas College in Tyler, Texas. She went on to earn a doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology — only the third Mexican-American woman to do so.
Today, Villa-Komaroff is the chief scientific officer at a company whose machinery will sort cells and purify them so they won’t be rejected by the body’s immune system, as is often the case in bone marrow transplants.
