The nature of STEM is to think outside of the box! Meet Dr. Patricia Bath our next #blackinnovator of the month!
👁 
Dr. Bath was the first African American female to recieve a medical patent for her invention of the Laserphaco probe! This surgical tool uses a laser to vaporize cataracts! When Dr. Bath first conceieved the idea the technology was more advanced than what was available at the time and it is STILL used WORLDWIDE today!

Thank you Dr. Bath for your perserverance, imagination, and innovation!
