Dec WIS Meeting 7-9pm 4110 VLSB Yamana Science and Technology Third Space

Join us for the final Women in Science meeting of the semester on December 5, 7-9pm in 4110 VLSB.  This month we will hear from Kennan Salinero, ED and President of Yamana Science and Technology, and Jack Bulat, co-presenter and current MCB grad student.  Yamana is an organization that envisions a science culture where both people and ideas flourish in the presence of effective support, balanced lifestyles, and thriving workplaces.  Yamana's Third Space interactive event is designed in three parts. First, the presenters will share a short biographical sketch, up close and personal, to open up the space. We will then present some of the current trends and statistics that we have gathered regarding employment, workplace dynamics, and other aspects of science in the United States. The final part will entail a creative exercise to explore possibilities for the future of science and the systems which support it.  A volunteer opportunity for interested grad students will also be discussed (see attachment).

When: Dec 5, 7-9pm

Where: VLSB 4110

Who:   Graduate students, post-docs, faculty, and staff are all welcome.
