About
NSAWS annually brings together college, high school, and professional scientists from Harvard and the surrounding Boston community to participate in talks and workshops, where they can benefit from hearing the perspective and wisdom of today’s prominent leaders in science. By gathering both experienced and young scientists in one place and enabling them to actively participate in career – and research – based discussions together, we hope that NSAWS 2015 will inspire young women scientists to continue their work in the sciences and lend their own strengths and talents to future scientific endeavors.
Mission
Specifically, through a series of featured speakers, panel discussion, and networking opportunities, NSAWS 2015 seeks:
• To highlight provoking academic and medical scientific research conducted by the country’s leading women scientists
• To proactively develop strategies to recruit, retain, and advance women in the sciences
• To explore and discuss the impact of women scientists on economics, politics, and the practice of science
• To promote awareness and understanding of the issues that women in science currently face
With these goals in mind, we hope to bring together a diverse group of modern professionals and academics. We are targeting all ages, backgrounds, and education levels!
