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.
Specifically the Women in Science Symposium will focus on:
Insights from the field highlighting personal stories, professional ambitions, and milestones from some of the areas most recognized leaders
Address the state of women in a rapidly changing science landscape across academic and government sectors.
Identify needs for the future of social and systemic change at the local and national levels; science as an industry; work/life balance.
