Alaska INBRE will host a webinar on women in science Thursday, Nov. 21, from 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in Akasofu 401. The webinar, "Staying Power: Women in Science on What It Takes to Succeed," discusses the results from a study of the postdocs supported by the L'Oreal USA for Women in Science fellowship program during the last 15 years. This cohort of women is unusual in that 100% of the respondents of the study now work in paid science-related positions. The webinar will highlight what was learned in the study, including the most important factors retaining women in science, as well as areas for improvement in supporting women in STEM fields.

Students, staff and faculty are invited. Lunch and a discussion will follow the presentation, so please register in advance to ensure there is enough food.
