The Women in Science forum is
designed to increase interest in science and technological careers and promote a
positive image of science careers for our youth. The Women in Science forum will
create personal connections between professional women scientists and girls and
young women. Making connections to people who are accomplished in mathematics or
science related occupations is one of the best ways to promote students'
aspirations and achievements, and also to connect them with individuals who can
become personal resources.
