Renowned for her research in using lasers to treat cancer, Dr. Hadiyah-Nicole Green was a star attraction at TechConneXt as a participant in the women of color in tech panel.

If you really want to help me and help fight cancer, go to my website www.physics2cancer.org to donate, she told the audience. “No, I mean now. Pull out your phones and go to my website,†she then instructed. It was a spectacularly ballsy move and drove home the importance of her research.
