One woman here in Utah was instrumental in creating a line of 'Explorer Barbies,' geared toward inspiring more girls to enter the STEM field.
SALT LAKE CITY — Today is National Barbie Day, marking the 65th anniversary of the doll's first release on March 9, 1959.
Nalini Nadkarni is a professor emeritus at the University of Utah in the School of Biological Sciences. In 2021, she worked with National Geographic and Mattel to create a line of Explorer Barbie dolls. "Hi, I'm Dr. Nalini Nadkarni, the treetop scientist," one little girl said in a video."I work in Costa Rica, studying the rare plant life at the tops of some of the tallest trees in the cloud forest. Did you know the wind can move trees up to 180,000 miles per year? I do, because I'm the one who calculated it!"
