Celebrate Women’s History Month by joining us for a discussion with four women PhDs from the UC Center for Environmental Implications of Nanotechnology (UC-CEIN).  Panelists Hilary Godwin, Barbara Herr Harthorn, Ivy Ji, and Mary Collins will discuss how nanotechnology is expected to create the next industrial revolution, and how work in the UC-CEIN focuses on ensuring that this technology is implemented safely and for the benefit of everyone.  The panelists will also discuss their career paths in research and the sciences.
