Inspiring Young Women in STEM

Western Women in Neuroscience and BrainsCAN invite you to attend the 2nd Biennial Inspiring Young Women in STEM Conference on Sunday, March 4, 2018 at Western! This conference aims to inspire, engage, and empower young women who are considering a career in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) by connecting them with role models in leadership positions, cultivating early research skills, and providing networking opportunities with STEM industries within the context of a supportive community.
