Women in Science Speak is a hybrid event celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, which occurs every year on Feb. 11. Our event takes place the Friday before the observance day in partnership with Woman to Woman Mentoring, a local non-profit, and Hood College, a local private college we have supported for many years.
The event features a panel of women in science, who share their perspectives on pursuing careers in science, advancing allyship and mentorship, achieving goals through self-advocacy, and more. Following the panel discussion, participants can engage panelists through a formal Q&A session ahead of a networking opportunity available to in-person participants.
Women in Science Speak started in 2022 and has continued to grow. Here’s a look at how our number of attendees has increased through the years:
- 2022: 91
- 2023: 162
- 2024: 361
