ASB Women in Science Luncheon

[Rebecca Fellin]

This year at ASB, the Women in Science luncheon will focus on career path options and general discussion among the group. The luncheon will be held on Friday, August 28, room TBA. We invite all interested people to attend. Five female researchers will facilitate roundtable discussions focusing on their personal career paths and career path options. These researchers have career paths including both academia and industry. Each researcher’s general bio, focused on her chosen career path, will be posted at the entrance to the luncheon. The following five researchers will be attending the luncheon:

Due to the overwhelming registration for ASB, we request people interested in attending the luncheon RSVP to Becky Fellin (fellin@udel.edu), by Wednesday, August 26. A headcount will allow us to ensure the luncheon room has enough seating. The room will be announced at the conference.

We look forward to seeing you at the Women in Science luncheon!
