WIRe is celebrating our ten year anniversary in 2017, and everything is coming up tens. Throughout the course of the year, we will be sharing our “top ten” lists related to our community and cohorts. First up? Top Ten Female MR Entrepreneurs!

Our team of judges has searched far and wide around the globe to put together this stellar group of women who are paving the way for the future of research. For our community, we want to play our part in illuminating the women who are at the top of their game – because we know: you can’t be what you can’t see!

And drumroll…these are the top ten Entrepreneur picks from our judges!
