The CCS Lounge (#3): Women in Science
We invite you to the "CCS Lounge" for an informative moderated conversation on women in science. Joining the conversation are UCSB faculty and alumni who will discuss their careers in academia and industry–their accomplishments, their challenges, and the twists and turns they experienced along the way. We are delighted to host this third event in our CCS Lounge series during UCSB's virtual All Gaucho Reunion.
CCS Dean Gerardo Aldana will provide opening remarks.
