Hannah Dada is an MD/PhD student motivated by discovery and improving outcomes in disadvantaged communities. Hailing from a low-income household, she is passionate about mentorship in underrepresented communities, especially in STEM education. She has diligently worked to illuminate the disturbing disparities in underprivileged communities by creating curricula that teaches big science questions to low-income students in an accessible manner. She is hyper attentive to the damaging effects of prison and the justice system in her community and is determined to reduce the education achievement gap in carceral spaces.

She is excited to introduce science education and discovery to underrepresented minorities, including incarcerated youth. She developed Science Unlocked with her classmate, Anagha Krishnan, to provide young people detained at the YSC correctional facility in Washington D.C. an avenue to not only learn about science but also be excited about science through hands-on demonstrations.
