Women in Science Snackluck 1:00pm
Women in Science Snackluck
Friday, December 13th, 2024
01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
BPB 201
WinS is a low-key, MCB-based (but not MCB-exclusive) social group dedicated to supporting female grad students, postdocs and faculty in the sciences. Connecting to others through such networks can increase one’s professional success and personal contentment (which have additional positive cascading effects), so please consider stopping by - even if only for a few minutes! This meeting will be a general check-in to see how everyone’s semesters went. Note: This meeting is for all women, including cis and trans, and non-binary and gender non-conforming people who are comfortable in a space that centers the experiences of women in science.
*snackluck = snack potluck; please bring a snack to share, if you’d like. (This is optional, so regardless of snack status, you’re still welcome to join us!)
