PANEL: WOMEN IN SCIENCE
August 28, 2006, 4:00 PM LSS 340

Have you ever noticed that women outnumber men among undergraduate biology majors, but at the postdoctoral level and beyond men are represented in greater numbers than women? What happens that men tend to be retained in science in greater numbers than women? This panel will explore the magnitude of the problem and discuss some of the reasons women may leave the scientific workforce. We also will discuss possible strategies for encouraging students, and particularly women, to persist in science. Panelists: Dr. Molly Hunter, Assistant Professor of Entomology; Dr. Marilyn Halonen, Professor of Pharmacology; Dr. F. Ann Walker, Regents Professor of Chemistry; and Dr. John Hildebrand, Regents Professor of Neurobiology. Following the panel, there will be an informal reception. This event is open to all. Please come and bring others!
