Her experiences as a scientist and entrepreneur led to establishing the Kuno Award for Applied Science, which supports women social innovators, using scientific research and principles to address 21st century problems. Her passion for the arts and belief in the power of creativity to bring people together led to the creation of the Washington Award which recognizes talented artists in music, dance, visual and interdisciplinary arts.
