Paige Liebel, a 2024–25 recipient of the Fulbright-Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation Award, is currently at the University of Innsbruck working on her Fulbright project, entitled "Optimization of Performance in Female Soccer Players."
Herself a woman in science, Paige wrote a short piece to commemorate the 2025 International Day of Women and Girls in Science in which she shares her thoughts on why addressing the STEM gap matters and why we as a society should encourage young girls to seek careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
