Erascience Denise Ashven meets with fellow founders Drs Rita Blaik, Sarah Tolbert and Elaine Morita at UCLA to kickoff the Nanovation Competition for 2022.  The foundation has been promoting, encouraging and helping to fund young scientists develop innovative ideas in science.  The foundation’s principles are to help middle and high school students achieve avenues to education otherwise unavailable to them. CNSI March 7 Kickoff was the first public event held in public since the start of the pandemic with Denise and the fellow founders present.

The 10 finalist teams met with their mentors to develop their presentations for the May 27th competition at CNSI UCLA.
