As an 11-year-old girl, Laura Lopez's passion for astronomy was sparked. The daughter of a piano teacher and a gas station owner, this was a completely new area of interest for her family. Yet, with the support of her mother and some encouraging voices along the way, Lopez now holds a Ph.D. in Astronomy and Astrophysics and is an associate professor of astronomy at the Ohio State University. Drawing on her own experience, Dr. Lopez shares insights into ways that parents and educators can encourage girls--and all students--to pursue their dreams.
