WoSTEM February Lecture: Dr. Karen Samonds

Dr. Karen Samonds from NIU was the inaugural winner of the Carla Montgomery Memorial Award for Faculty and thus will be the speaker for the Women in STEM lecture series this semester. Her talk is entitled Unearthing stories: A woman’s journey through fossils, fieldwork, and family. Thus, I think her work will be of broad interest to students and faculty across STEM, health, humanities, and gender and women's studies fields.  

Who: Dr. Karen Samonds from NIU 

When: Thursday, February 19th, 12:30-1:30  

Where: Founders Memorial Library Staff Lounge, which is on the ground floor next to Einstein's Bagels.  

RSVP Here is optional but encouraged.   

A light lunch will be served. 

As always, Women in STEM events are open to everyone and are intended as a forum to provide inspiration and connection for all people working across fields where women are often underrepresented. Lunch will be served. This is an honors engaged eligible event.
