Ghina is an astrophysicist born in a small village tucked among the thousand-year-old cedars of Mount Lebanon. A curious child, a toy’s motor and battery were her objects of fascination. As a school kid, she installed a light system in her dark blue bag to make it easier to find her books. She found physics challenging so it lured her into it as a major in college, and later as a Masters degree. She then did her PhD in Astrophysics, during which she studied the structure and evolution of stars. She is a public speaker at international conferences and global forums including TEDx, and the UN. She was featured as "Modern Muse for Astronomy" by the cultural magazine Postscript.

Lynn is a Lebanese computer science and psychology student at the American University of Beirut. Her parents always encouraged her to pursue her talent for maths and as a young adult, she wanted to do the same for others: she founded a student club to empower youth in refugee camps across Lebanon. At university, Lynn’s experience as one of the few female computer science students was disappointing as she was consistently ostracised by her male peers. She became motivated to reach out to other women in STEM. PENTA by She Speaks Science mentorship programme helps her verify the power of female representation.
