Women in Science 2010 Panel Discussion
The Chicago Council on Science and Technology (C2ST) in partnership with the Association for Women in Science (AWIS) Chicago Chapter have come together to bring you its first ever all-day Women in Science Symposium 2010: Building an Identity. The symposium, to be held on April 17th, 2010 will allow women scientists, at the academic, industry and government levels, to better recognize the number and diversity of their counterparts; create a sense of solidarity, and; broaden the spectrum of opportunities for women in Chicagoland.

Investing in Innovation
While the country grapples with the implications of the Sequester and government institutions race to cut their budgets, other voices call for a boost in spending on innovation.
Join the Chicago Council on Science and Technology and Dr. Robert D. Atkinson, founder/ president of the Information Technology Foundation, a Washington, DC-based technology policy think tank, to discuss this timely topic.
Music/Brain
Music surrounds us.
What happens in our mind when we hear music, and how does it affect our emotions? Even with passive listening to music, specific parts of the brain can show activation, or increased neural activity. What is it about music that can so dramatically affect brain activity? Are there things that we can learn from music and its effect on the brain that can help treat people with neurological and cognitive disorders?
