Abstract
As the second part of the series celebrating the contributions of female energy researchers who have published new advances from their laboratories in ACS Energy Letters, we present their inspirational stories here. As in the previous part published in the January issue (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acsenergylett.9b02695), these personal stories of scientists around the globe (#WomenInEnergy, #WomenInStem, and #WomenInScience) reflect their passion and motivation to engage in energy research. It is our hope that new researchers will seek inspiration from these personal reflections and join the effort to tackle the clean energy challenge.
This virtual issue is a compilation of one representative paper from each of these scientists. We would like to thank Jillian M. Buriak, Shirley Meng, Jillian Dempsey, Natalia B. Shustova, Beatriz Roldán Cuenya, Hemamala Karunadasa, Lydia Helena Wong, Ming Lee Tang, Michelle Vaisman, Paulina Plochocka, Ranjani Viswanatha, Reshma R. Rao, Kelsey B.
