October is known as the month for Breast Cancer Awareness. While I've been hoping for 3 years to speak to a survivor - and I did this week, the person had reservations about speaking on camera. So, for plan B I'll share an informative presentation by a Barbadian researcher, Juliet Daniel, featured for the Inspiring Future Women in Science International Women's Day event. I recommend it for parents of, and people working in community projects with, girls in particular.

He is Shawn Hercules and he was featured last year in a production in which Juliet Daniel was also instrumental in its realization. Let's learn about him:
