Grab your favourite afternoon drink, cozy up in your favourite chair and spend an hour with some truly inspirational women. Whether you'd like to just listen, or engage over text in the online chat forum, this virtual high tea social will be a lively commentary and round-table discussion.

Join Kate and Nicole online through March Break to help them recover science lab supplies borrowed (and then lost!) by Mr. Goose and King Warrior! Each day they will guide you through a new science discovery challenge for you to complete at home.

The Waterloo Institute for Nanotechnology (WIN) is pleased to present a WIN Seminar talk by Professor Qing-Hua Xu from theDepartment of Department of Chemistry, National University of Singapore.

Plasmon Enhanced Optical Properties and Their Biomedical Applications

Abstract

Scientists of all backgrounds and genders, have made important contributions in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), but the participation of women remains low in many areas of STEM, including physics. What can we do to build an inclusive STEM community? Shohini Ghose, IQC affiliate and Director of the Laurier Centre for Women in Science (WinS) will discuss data that can shed light on where we stand today and describe a practical framework for increasing access and inclusion in STEM.

This virtual talk is free, however registration is required.

More information, including speaker profiles, can be seen on the World Water Day event website.
