Post Doc and Graduate Student Recruitment for gwaMIT Black Womxn in Science Panel
When: April 30, 2021 12-1:15 PM
Details: gwaMIT is organizing an event to highlight Black Womxn in science at MIT and beyond -- this will be in the form of a panel with faculty, industry professionals, postdoctoral fellows and graduate students.

Lunch will be reimbursed.
