Join AAUW and the JASON Project for the first Wonder Women of STEM! webcast on April 26. The show will feature two high-achieving professionals who will discuss what it’s like to be a woman in a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career.
Guest speaker and AAUW senior researcher Christianne Corbett
Do you know a young person who should take that extra math class, science lab, or engineering lecture? Then encourage her or him to watch the webcast, which features exciting guests Christianne Corbett and Lisa Lord.
Guest speaker and AAUW Career Development Grantee Lisa Lord
Corbett, a senior researcher at AAUW and co-author of the report Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, has a background in engineering and has worked in aerospace. She now produces important research that breaks through barriers for women and girls. Lord, an AAUW Career Development Grantee who works as a cyber-information analyst, will discuss what it’s like to use cyber-security to protect our nation’s top-secret information and to prepare our infrastructure for natural and manmade disasters. During the show, you’ll learn about the opportunities that STEM has given these women to further their careers and why they are great role models for young women everywhere.
Watch online at 10 a.m. EDT for Corbett’s interview or at noon EDT for our conversation with Lord, or come to the Media and Public Affairs building at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., to watch the live webcast and ask your own questions. Both women will be interviewed again at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. EDT for our online audience, so there’s no excuse to miss it!
More information will be posted on the JASON Project website, or you can RSVP on Facebook to get updates as the event draws near. So mark your calendars, and stay tuned for the first episode of Wonder Women of STEM!
