The event aimed to connect graduate students, post-docs, and junior and senior scientists,<\/p>\n<p>fostering future collaborations and introducing KWiSE to a broader audience to attract new<\/p>\n<p>members.<\/p>\n<p>The symposium featured keynote addresses from Dr. Hyun Lillehoj, a distinguished senior<\/p>\n<p>research scientist at U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Dr. Dong-Yun Kim, an experienced<\/p>\n<p>statistician at the National Institutes of Health, offering scientific insights and career advice from<\/p>\n<p>their experiences as women in STEM. The afternoon sessions shifted to networking and non-<\/p>\n<p>scientific topics, including financial planning and mental health, with small group discussions<\/p>\n<p>facilitating deeper connections and shared experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Attendees, over 65% of whom were graduate students and early-career scientists, gained<\/p>\n<p>valuable perspectives on building successful and sustainable scientific careers and learned about<\/p>\n<p>each other\u2019s research. The symposium successfully promoted knowledge sharing, community<\/p>\n<p>building, and collaboration among women scientists.<a href=\"https:\/\/kwise.org\/dc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\uc804\uccb4\uc0ac\uc9c4.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-454\" src=\"https:\/\/kwise.org\/dc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/\uc804\uccb4\uc0ac\uc9c4.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 26, 2024, the Washington D.C. chapters of the KWiSE held a joint annual symposium, \u201cUnlocking Potential: Women in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kwise.org\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kwise.org\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kwise.org\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kwise.org\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kwise.org\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kwise.org\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":500,"href":"https:\/\/kwise.org\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499\/revisions\/500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kwise.org\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kwise.org\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kwise.org\/dc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
