This week's guest had a serendipitous journey to her career in STEM. In an effort to diagnose her son and improve the quality of life for her mother, Karen Crow set out to learn more about sleep which led to a breakthrough in wearable sensors. Now, as the CEO of the startup, NeuroGeneces, Karen shares about the impact of technology on the study and the science of sleep. Gone are the days of sleep studies with wires and adhesives attached while you try to "sleep" in a strange bed. The growth of wearable sensors is skyrocketing! The data those sensors are collecting can be life-changing and the opportunity for careers in the relatively unexplored science of sleep is unprecedented. As a bonus, Karen will even share how you can get involved in the beta testing of a new NeuroGeneces product!
