The Dance Your Ph.D. contest has been challenging scientists to explain their research through dance for 14 years now. The judges selected winners in the categories of chemistry, biology, and social sciences, who will receive $750 each. They also crowned the winner of a new category created this year—COVID-19—which comes with its own $500 award.

Following this contest, Heather was featured in Science, Forbes, NPR, IMPACT, ASBMB, cnet, ars technica, and more!
