The first day of classes is finally over. Trudging home, you lug a massive book-bag stuffed with your 7.6-pound copy of Principles of Neural Science. Jeez, you think, we must know everything about our brain.
Our Women in STEM: Connect is back! This year’s event will feature a lively panel discussion with Q&A, video shorts, and will be followed by networking. We welcome everyone, fromwomen just contemplating a future in a science-related field to career veterans, and all those in between. Men are welcome to attend!
The Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) recently opened a one-of-its-kind temporary exhibit, Robot Revolution. This unprecedented exhibit features more than 40 robots from all over the world. Want to hear more about what it took to assemble this collection, which includes robots from Japan, China, Germany, and France, or what it takes to keep all of these machines up and running, and interacting with the public? Join two of the women who work behind-the-scenes at MSI’s Robot Revolution for a night of fun with Chicago Council on Science and Technology at Geek Bar Beta’s SCIENCE! Tuesday.
