 n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWen was born in China at the end of the Great Cultu
 ral Revolution. Being the victim of this horrific atrocity that killed two
  million intellectuals and destroyed traditional Chinese culture\, Wen's p
 arents had mixed feelings about her education. Despite their discouragemen
 t\, Wen eventually won a national prize at a science competition when she 
 was 16. Hence\, she went to a top university for undergraduate study and t
 hen came to the U.S. in 1994 for graduate school. Wen received a Ph.D. in 
 Biology at the California Institute of Technology in 2000. Because of her 
 personal experience of being brainwashed in China\, she decided to voice f
 or the voiceless. Since 2012\, she has given hundreds of presentations to 
 community organizations about Chinese culture\, history\, and society.\n\n
 \n\nWen has been working for Caltech since 2000 as a biologist and informa
 tion scientist. Her everyday work includes scientific outreach by speaking
  at conferences and seminars at universities. In her personal life\, she i
 s an activist for human rights in China. She also serves as a board member
  and community liaison for Caltech Women in Biology and Biological Enginee
 ring. \n\n\n\nShe has a blog:  https://wenchenview.blogspot.com/\n
