WinS Hybrid Symposium: Life Beyond the Lab
Women in Science (WinS) will be hosting their annual symposium on Friday, April 1st to recognize the work and contributions of women to the advancement of science. For the 7th Women in Science Symposium, we are celebrating the many facets of a scientist, in and outside of the lab.
Keynote: Dr. Cassandra Extavour, Professor, Harvard University, HHMI Investigator
A panel featuring women in various scientific careers will be followed by two competitive poster sessions and a virtual networking lunch. The symposium will end with the keynote speech from Dr. Extavour and poster awards. We welcome and encourage all to participate in this event!!
