Special Presentation

Women in Astronomy II: Ten Years After

Wednesday, Nov. 19, 4-5 PM, 544 Campbell




In late June 2003, the AAS Committee on the Status of Women in Astronomy sponsored the WIA II conference at Caltech "to review the current status of women in astronomy, understand their work environment, assess developments since the 1992 Baltimore conference, and recommend future actions that will improve the environment for all astronomers." The UC Berkeley postdocs, grads, and undergrads who attended the conference will report on the proceedings, present the latest statistics, and discuss strategies for improving the status and retention of women in the field.

ALL department members invited!
