The GWIS Madison Chapter recently held their annual kickoff meeting (smooth segue from kicking things off to an actual "kick-off" meeting) for this year!
They had a full agenda ranging from discussion of semester events to welcoming new members including the opportunity to take professional headshots!
Generous portions of pizza made this a successful event, we are sure! |

After the success of their virtual book club last year, in celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the Greater Maryland Graduate Women in Science Chapter (GM-GWIS chapter)will host an online discussion of a wonderful movie, Hidden Figures (2016) starring Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monae (Movie streaming currently available on Amazon Prime*) Event date and time: February 15th 2023 at 7pmPlease watch the film and join this online discussion about the portrayal of female African-American mathematicians who served vital roles in NASA during the early U.S. space program. Reach out to: greatermaryland@gwis.org to RSVP for the zoom link!P.S. for those who are interested to participate in the discussion but have no access to the streaming service, GM-GWIS has offered to offset the cost of the streaming rental through a gift card of similar value, (reach out to GM-GWIS at greatermaryland@gwis.org for more information)This is one of our favorite movies highlighting some of the lesser-discussed, brilliant minds, with equal parts grace and chutzpah in science! We hope you feel the same as well! |
