Guest speakers plan to give four different presentations and the event will also feature a panel discussion. The goal of the various activities is to look at the intersections between science and power and how these intersections shape lives, said April de Stefano, assistant director of the center.
Brenda Johnson-Grau, managing editor at the center, said the conference will be an opportunity to share ideas and findings about the topic, as well as address the barriers to female advancement in science.
