1:12 Then when she was 19 she moved to America, to become a Junior Fellow at Harvard
      - Dr. Lawrence moved to America a few months after her doctorate in October 1989 when she was 18 for a postdoc at Harvard. A year later she became a Junior Fellow (a very prestigious 3 yr postdoc at Harvard).
     
6:15-6:27 In 1987 she fell in love with Ari Naimark, an Israeli mathematician and followed him to Israel she became an observant Jew and learned Hebrew ...
      - While an assistant professor at University of Michigan, Dr. Lawrence became an observant Jew in 1996. She was promoted to a tenured Associate Professor at Michigan in 1997 and was also awarded an Alfred P. Sloan Fellowship. She chose to use the fellowship to do research for a year in Israel at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem (1997-98). There she fell in love with Ari Naimark, an Israeli mathematician and then moved permanently to Israel in 1999.

Girls Talk Math is a 2-week summer program with the goal to promote women in math. Girls work in groups to understand mathematical topics outside of their usual high school curriculum as well as research and record a podcast about a famous female mathematician. These podcasts are the work of the attendees of the 2019 Girls Talk Math Program at the University of Maryland in College Park (UMD). They were produced by Rey Sasaki, Sarah Burnett, and Cara Peters. The program is sponsored by the Women and Mathematics Tensor Grant from the Mathematical Association of American, the Math Dept. and AMSC program at UMD.

Girls Talk Math is a free math and media day camp for high school girls and non-binary students hosted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (since 2016), the University of Maryland, College Park (since 2018) and Worcester Polytechnic Institute (since 2022).  Campers complete challenging problem sets in areas of mathematics that go beyond the high school curriculum, research the lives of mathematicians and scientists from marginalized groups, and share what they learned through blog posts and podcasts.
