Women in Science Panel Discussion

Wednesday, May 6 18:00-20:00. Reception to follow from 20:00 to 22:00 in the RCC Grand Ballroom B21B.

A diverse panel of internationally recognized women researchers will discuss the Cultural Impact on Women in Science and Engineering. They will address how diverse cultural backgrounds play a role in encouraging (or discouraging) women to go into scientific careers. They will share their unique, illuminating perspectives with the IPAC researchers in attendance, as well as nearly 30 local high school girls interested in science who have been invited to attend and a class from Pittsburgh attending remotely.
