The purpose of the Women in Science Speaker Tour is to showcase the research conducted by female faculty in Atlantic Canada. Female faculty represent only about 25-30% of all faculty in the physical and life sciences, mathematics, and computer sciences in Canada but are important role models for female students in science.
After a momentary pause due to COVID-19, female faculty and our organization are happy to announce that Women in Science Speaker Tours will recommence this fall of 2021! As of today, we have word that two individual are in the process of organizing locations and dates for their upcoming speaker tours. Dr. Nadja Bressan from the University of Prince Edward Island will be showcasing research within the Bio Medical Engineering division. Likewise, Dr. Alana Pindar from Saint Mary’s University will be showcasing her research on a sector of Environmental Science. After a tough couple of months, we are very pleased to reignite this opportunity for female faculty in Atlantic Canada.
