"From the Labs: Cool Female Innovations

Women have begun to slowly close the gender gap in tenure-track academic jobs in technical fields, but as a group, their work doesn’t receive the same publicity as that of their male peers. A group of outstanding female faculty—some established, some just starting out—will present cool new innovations from their labs, including some live demos!

Moderator: Katherine Bourzac, Nanotechnology and Materials Science Editor, Technology Review Confirmed Panelists: Tanzeem Choudhury, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Dartmouth College; Paula T. Hammond, Professor of Chemical Engineering, MIT; Holly A. Yanco, Associate Professor of Computer Science, University of Massachusetts, Lowell"
