BUWIC Participates in 37-Country IYC Event
On January 18, 2011, Boston University Women in Chemistry (BUWIC) joined women chemists in Canada as part of the international event that connected scientists in 37 countries in cyber-space. The event, “Women Sharing a Chemical Moment in Time“, ushered in the 2011 International Year of Chemistry.
Using Skype, BUWIC scientists linked to fellow chemists in Alberta, Canada, to share perspectives on careers in chemistry for women and ways to spur interest in chemistry and biology with educational events that span beyond the classroom.
