Women in Science Symposium and Award
The concept of an annual symposium dedicated to women in science is based on the recognition that despite the many women who have made significant contributions to science, there is a sense that many young women feel alienated from science and would appreciate the demonstration that women work actively and productively in leadership positions in the sciences. This program is devoted to a demonstration of the many accomplishments of women in science by offering a scientific symposium featuring women scientists and by highlighting the career of a distinguished woman scientist. The Symposium is co-sponsored by: Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute (EOHSI); Douglass Project for Rutgers Women in Math, Science and Engineering; Joint Graduate Program in Toxicology; Joint Doctoral Program in Exposure Assessment; and the UMDNJ-School of Public Health.
