The nutraceutical industry stands at a pivotal crossroads, where the inclusion and empowerment of women in STEM fields have never been more critical. In the insightful article "Women in STEM: Past, Present, and Future of the Nutraceutical Industry," Karin Linnewiel Hermoni, Co-Chair of WIN’s Science Committee, highlights the challenges and triumphs women face in this dynamic field. At Women In Nutraceuticals (WIN), we recognize that empowering women in STEM is not just a goal—it’s a necessity. The nutraceutical industry is evolving, and with it, the opportunities for women to lead, innovate, and make a lasting impact on global health and wellness.

What does it take to be a young scientist making waves across continents? In the fourth episode of “In Conversation With,” I sit down with Rakshi Anuja Dinesh, a young scientist breaking barriers and redefining what it means to lead in life sciences. From being a gold medalist with an exceptional GPA of 9.85/10 at Sathyabama Institute to pursuing her MSc in Biotechnology at the University of Queensland, Rakshi has already left her mark. Her work spans intellectual property analysis for flavivirus vaccines to pioneering nanomaterials for biomedical applications—all while publishing high-impact research on AI in healthcare and drug delivery systems. But Rakshi’s story goes beyond achievements. It’s about resilience, innovation, and challenging norms—qualities that inspire a new generation of women to step confidently into STEM fields. This conversation is for every young woman, every curious mind, and every advocate of innovation who believes that science has no boundaries. Join us as we uncover Rakshi’s journey, insights, and her bold take on shaping the future of biotechnology. 📍 Don’t miss this episode—because stories like hers deserve to be heard.

Have you ever read the book Silent Spring? It details a world where chemicals ravage the earth - and there is even another book called Grapes of Wrath that details how chemicals destroy our relationship with Mother Nature herself. I have come to understand that male biology is sensitive. Men are disappearing. I have been reading papers about how microplastics mimic estrogen at the molecular level - we see a rise in gender queerness with more men having worse health outcomes at the hormonal level (also interesting to note that more people are using steroids than ever in human history). I sorta wonder - not from a manosphere perspective or a feminist one - but from a biological perspective - is male biology fragile? For every $1 invested in biology only something like less than 2 cents is invested in female biology research. We know less about female biology than any other subject on earth. So I wonder - what will future populations look like in a world full of estrogenic pollutants? Lots of men with little to no women? Lots of women with little to no men? It’s real sad to think about the concept that we may have polluted our own bodies, and that bioaccumulating effects could take males out of the equation entirely someday. Takeaway - Regulate the chemical industry. Invest in female biology. Invest in de-pollution research. Support LGBTQ 🏳️🌈 rights to accommodate for a gender inclusive world.
