“A Celebration of Women in Science”
May 20, 2017
Join us in LSRC Love Auditorium (Rm B101) for a mini research symposium hosted by WiSE and the Research Triangle Chapter of Graduate Women In Science (GWIS).
The goals of this event are to build a local community of women in science by encouraging networking and to empower women in science by providing a supportive and encouraging environment in which you can present your science to a broader scientific audience.
The symposium will include a keynote presentation, short scientific talks, and a poster and networking reception with refreshments. Our hope is that this symposium will be an opportunity for people at all stages of their career and with projects at various levels of completion to be able to come and share their science with scientists outside their discipline, department or University.

Women’s Networking Event at ScienceOnline’09
January 16, 2009
WiSE is partnering with ScienceOnline’09, a national science blogging conference, to host a Triangle-wide networking event for women scientists, engineers, educators, researchers, science writers, and students. This event also includes many of our local women’s groups and promises to be a networking extravaganza. Following a networking reception with free light eats and drinks, there will be a presentation by our guest speaker, Rebecca Skloot, a freelance science writer, contributing editor at Popular Science, and correspondent for PBS’s NOVA scienceNOW. Our goal in hosting this networking event is to bring together local women’s groups to support joint efforts in community outreach and to support communication of science information and ideas to the general public.
