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. The event will be held on Friday April 30 from 12 PM to 1:15 PM ET. We are hoping
to have 1-2 post doctoral fellows and 1-2 graduate students share their experience at MIT. During this panel, there will be a brief introduction by the panelists followed by small breakout rooms where each panelist will be in a group with ~5 graduate students
for questions and discussion. Lunch will be reimbursed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
