Women of science unite! While eating waffles. In honor of their 100th anniversary, the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry is working with the American Chemical Society to sponsor a Global Women’s Breakfast, entitled “Empowering Women in Chemistry: A Global Networking Event.” This event will feature a breakfast in each time zone around the world, with Hawai‘i representing the final time zone of the day. Come join the conversation on how to empower women in science! It’s free, and all are welcome.

During breakfast, participants will hear talks from Ellinor Haglund, PhD, a new chemistry professor at UH, and Margaret McFall-Ngai, PhD, the director of the Pacific Basin Research Center and member of the National Academy of Sciences.
