  1. Brookhaven Women in Science Speaker

    4 pm, Large Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

    Enrico Fermi, born in September 1901, was an Italian and naturalized-American-physicist and a husband, father, and one of the world's most brilliant and productive scientists. In 1938 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons. In January, 1939, after receiving the Nobel Prize he moved to Columbia University and eventually the University of Chicago where he led the first nuclear chain reaction. Ed works in the Quality Management Office at BNL as the Laboratory Compliance Officer. He is currently serving his fourth term as President of the Long Island Chapter of the American Nuclear Society.

    "Conserving, Preserving, and Understanding the Materials and Techniques of Works of Art"

    Silvia A. Centeno, The Metropolitan Museum of Art

    Thursday, November 14, 2019, 4 pm
    John Dunn Seminar Room, Bldg. 463

    The talk will discuss what interdisciplinary teams involving scientists, conservators, and art historians at The Met, together with colleagues in numerous other institutions including Brookhaven National Laboratory, have begun to unravel about the permanence of artistic materials in iconic works of art by Rembrandt van Rijn, Vincent van Gogh, Jan van Eyck, Adolph Gottlieb, Margareta Haverman, and others, by joining forces and combining different backgrounds, what the implications of these findings for the conservation and preservation of the works affected are, and the challenges that still lie ahead.

  3. AAAG/BWIS Speaker

    "Realigning the Crooked Room in STEM"

    Kimberly Jackson, Spelman College

    Thursday, October 17, 2019, 4 pm
    Hamilton Seminar Room, Bldg. 555

    Chair and Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry and director of the Food Studies program at Spelman College in Atlanta, Georgia, Dr. Kimberly Jackson will discuss two aspects of her research program—novel therapeutic agents for hormone refractory prostate cancer and the role of minority-serving institutions and women of color in diversifying the STEM pipeline.

  4. Brookhaven Women in Science Talk

    "She Wins—We Win: The Criticality of Supporting Women in STEM and Innovation"

    Paula McCauley, Department of Industrial Engineering and Management Systems, University of Central Florida

    Thursday, August 15, 2019, 4 pm
    Large Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

    McCauley will discuss the critical need to support women in their careers in the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields and innovation opportunities on a global level. As McCauley will explain, the impact of improving STEM education and career opportunities for women is an issue of national importance and is impacting America's innovation potential, national security, and global position as a leader in innovation. Dr. McCauley will share scholarly literature and strategies from her book, Transforming Your STEM Career Through Leadership and Innovation: Inspiration and Strategies for Women, published in 2013 by Elsevier, as well as organizational best practices and examples from her personal experience regarding key points where the support of others, particularly women, were pivotal in her career.

  5. Gertrude S. Goldhaber Award Ceremony

    Wednesday, July 3, 2019, 12 pm
    Large Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

    Brookhaven Women in Science is pleased to present this year's Gertrude Scharff Goldhaber Award to Brooke Russell. The Gertrude S. Goldhaber Prize was established to honor Gertrude Scharff-Goldhaber for her outstanding contributions in the field of nuclear physics and her support of women in science, and to recognize substantial promise and accomplishment by a woman graduate student in physics. This event is open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.

  6. BWIS Sponsored Event

    "A Career in Magnets: Past, Present, and Future"

    Kathleen Amm, Brookhaven National Laboratory Superconducting Magnet Division

    Thursday, June 27, 2019, 4 pm
    Large Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

    Dr. Kathleen Amm will share the exciting path you can take in a career in applied science and leadership. Her primary research areas include: MRI and medical applications of superconductivity, superconducting electric machines, high temperature superconductivity, material properties at low temperatures, and permanent magnets. She will discuss how you can make an impact on the world with your applied science research. Kathleen obtained her Ph.D.-Condensed Matter Physics from Florida State University, and a B.Sc.-Mathematics and Physics-University of Toronto. She has over 25 years of experience in superconductivity and magnet design. Kathleen is currently the head of the Superconducting magnet division at Brookhaven, where she works with her team to deliver innovative accelerator and high field magnet technology.

  7. BWIS Sponsored Event

    "How Beauty Leads Physics Astray"

    Presented by Sabine Hossenfelder, Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies, Germany

    Tuesday, April 9, 2019, 5 pm
    Large Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

    Hosted by: Vivian Stojanoff

    To develop fundamentally new laws of nature, theoretical physicists often rely on arguments from beauty. Simplicity and naturalness in particular have been strongly influential guides in the foundations of physics ever since the development of the standard model of particle physics. In this lecture I argue that arguments from beauty have led the field into a dead end and discuss what can be done about it.

  8. Brookhaven Women In Science Speaker

    "Natural Products: Active Pharmaceuticals and Their Derivatives"

    "Probing the Epigenome to Target Breast Cancer"

    Camila dos Santos, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory

    Thursday, January 31, 2019, 4 pm
    Large Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

    The epigenome is a multitude of chemical compounds that can modify the DNA and DNA-associated proteins in the cell, altering the genome leading to heritable mutations. Dr. dos Santos studies mechanisms underlying these epigenetic regulations of normal and malignant mammary gland development. Her group developed a model in which pregnancy can prevent the development of mammary tumors, an approach that will yield answers directly related to cancer prevention. Dr. dos Santos completed her Postdoctoral studies with Gregory Hannon at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Recipient of several awards, including the 2018 Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Research Award, Dr. Camila dos Santos is member of the CSHL WISE executive board.
