It’s time for the next lunch in the WIC lunch series with the female faculty in Chemistry! Each lunch will feature one professor, where it will be an open forum to get to know her better, hear about her journey, and discuss any topics of interest to the group. We do not have many opportunities to interact with the female faculty in an informal setting, so we hope you will all enjoy and take part in the lunch series!

This lunch will be with Liz Nolan on Tuesday, August 5th from 12:30-1:30pm in the Moore Room. Lunch will be provided, so if you would like to attend please RSVP by 5pm on August 1st to wrhess@mit.edu. If you have any dietary restrictions, please let us know in your RSVP. Come with questions and topics you would like to talk about!
