Fueling Discovery By Supporting Female Scientists
Research shows that diverse teams make for better science and results. Although the number of women in STEM careers has increased over the decades, data shows that these numbers decrease in the upper ranks of academia. Our Department Chair Training to Increase Diversity (IWiN) is committed to promoting greater diversity and representation of women, minorities, and young investigators.
