AWIS DC will be hosting a book club!

July 30th!!! Our first book will be A Lab of One’s Own: One Woman’s Personal Journey Through Sexism in Science by Dr. Rita Colwell on July 30th at 1pm (HYBRID EVENT).
This book has been described as “a beautifully written memoir-manifesto from the first female director of the National Science Foundation about the entrenched sexism in science, the elaborate detours women have take to bypass the problem, and how to fix the system” (Simon & Schuster). More information about the book can be found here.
