MEET: Dr. Mary Ann Ramirez
Medical Science Liaison, Associate
Director Cardiovascular, Renal &
Metabolism Field Medical
Mary Ann knew from a young age that she
was interested in science. She describes a
scientist as someone who is curious, who
thinks about how things works, and tries
to solve problems.

Mary Ann's work includes clinical
research and trials in cardiology. Data
from trials provide valuable information
related to new, lifesaving medications.
Mary Ann demonstrated a chemical
reaction between various materials to make
Elephant Toothpaste. Yeast was added as a
catalyst to create the over-flowing mixture.
A quote from Marie Curie, in HerStory:
50 Women & Girls Who Shook Up the
World. "I was taught that the way
progress was neither swift nor easy."

Ms. deYoung's Art Class
The girls have been studying Georgia O'Keeffe. We read
My Name is Georgia O'Keeffe by Jeannette Winters.
Then they sketched bones and shells - learning how to
draw from observation. They are creating beautiful
flowers drawings.
