Will Joe Biden Pick the First Female Chief of NASA? 

Is the next head of NASA going to be a woman?

The last NASA chief Jim Bridenstine has officially stepped down from his role as the administrator of the US space agency as US Joe Biden takes the president's office. President Biden is expected to pick a woman to fill the NASA administrator role, which has only been occupied by men since the agency's founding in 1958.
