Details and Registration
The date for the next meeting is Saturday, June 3rd, starting at 10:30 am in the Café of the Physics building or outside if the weather allows for it.
In order to build a large and diverse network of women physicists, we would of course like to see women from industry in addition to PhD students and professors.
We would be pleased to receive your feedback, comments and suggestions. Specifically, we would love feedback on how many people are planning on joining in order to be able to provide enough food for everyone. We are going to provide the basics, but everyone can feel free to bring additional things for the buffet if they would like to.
Many thanks in advance and best regards!
