UNL’s School of Natural Resources will host “Women in Science: Challenges to Gender Equality” from 6-8 p.m. Refreshments will be provided at 5:30 p.m. and free parking will be available on-site. The seminar is free and open to the public.

The seminar will address gender disparity in science-related fields and provide personal accounts of being a woman in science. Eight speakers from across the university will discuss diverse topics that attend to why there are fewer women in academia in science and engineering, institutional transformation, science identity in younger students, balancing career and family, and much more.
