BWIS 30th Anniversary Events
March 10, 2009
In celebration of its 30th anniversary, Brookhaven Women in Science (BWIS) is sponsoring the following events during Women's History Month:
- Wednesday, March 11, at 4 p.m. in Berkner Hall: Astronomer Jill Tarter, director of SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence Research, will speak on "The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence: Fact, Not Fiction." This talk is open to the BNL community and the public. Visitors to the Laboratory 16 and older must carry a photo ID.
- Tuesday, March 17, from 11:45 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., Berkner Hall, lower lobby: BWIS will hold a membership drive. Dues are $10 per year for BNL employees and $5 per year for associate members. New members will receive a fresh flower while supplies last.
- Wednesday, March 25, noon to 1 p.m., Berkner Hall, Room A: Join BWIS founders and board members for a brown bag networking lunch. Coffee and cake will be served.
The primary goal of BWIS is to increase the Laboratory's awareness of the accomplishments of women in science and to aid in women's advancement in scientific and related technical careers. Faithful to its founding goal, the group encourages students to consider careers in science, mathematics, engineering and technology.
BWIS is supported primarily through yearly members' dues and contributions from Brookhaven Science Associates. The entire BNL community -women and men, scientists and nonscientists - are invited to join BWIS.
