Welcome to the Breaking Barriers series of our A Little Louder Now podcasts. During this series, Alex and Alicia shine a light on two trailblazing women in a different themed topic each month. These two take their fangirling seriously and are excited to share about women who broke down barriers and reached back to pull up the next generation. For April's theme, we chose Science Mavens. This month we are shining a light on two amazing women who broke barriers in their respective fields in science. Our featured Science Maven for this episode is Florence Nightingale, the founder of what we now think of as modern nursing. We celebrate Florence's contributions to science and all the ways she worked to make hospitals a cleaner and safer place for all of us. Alex and Alicia are excited to take you on a journey through Florence's life. Take a listen!
