The artist for this edition is Mya Parker, a 14-year-old, female, African-American athlete, artist, gardener, investor, and collector.
About the featured scientist, Mya says, "I depicted Dr. Segenet Kelemu as a heart because she followed her heart and great things happened. The background is the flag of Kenya's colors to represent her background more so the background is her background which is cool :) Lastly I did the grass which has microorganisms and flowers, which represents what she likes to surround herself in and be around. Oh and also her heart is planted in the ground because her heart is where life is, such as grass, flowers, microorganisms, and organisms..."
