Music by DJ Lady Ryan

→ Join the celebration with local scientists from the Academy, UC Berkeley, Stanford, UCSF, and more, whose expertise spans everything from zooplankton to California’s coastal currents and local tick-borne pathogens to technical science diving.

→ Listen and learn during an insightful discussion on what it’s like to be a woman in science—in the classroom, lab, field, and beyond—featuring a panel of Academy scientists. Shannon Bennett, Chief of Science, moderates a panel featuring Alison Gould, Research Scientist in Ichthyology; Frances Armstrong, Postdoctoral Fellow in Invertebrate Zoology; Meg Burke, Director of Science Integration and Operations; and Laura Eklund, Anthropology Collection Manager.

→ Take a very special “Tour of the Universe” in the Morrison Planetarium to learn about just a few of the many important contributions women have made to the field of astronomy.
