  ![Quote from Dawn Burke-Colvin that reads "Honestly, I consider myself to be a scientist who happens to be a woman. I've always been curious, and a bit of a skeptic, so becoming a scientist was a perfect fit. I get to question everything and try to seek out the best way to solve problems; it's in my DNA."](https://3blcdn.com/styles/carousel_2x/s3/2026-08/Dawn-Burke-Colvin_Mary-Kay_022324_1786535537.jpeg)
