International Women's Day Event - Screening of Carolyn Bertozzi's Equality Lecture

Prof. Carolyn Bertozzi is the Anne T and Robert M Bass Professor of Chemistry at Stanford University, an Investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and Co-Director of Stanford ChEM-H. She was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 2022 for the development of Click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry. She has strong ties with the department - in 2020 she was made an Honorary Graduate of the Faculty of Sciences and visited the department in 2018 to give a keynote and public lecture at a celebration to mark 10 years of Chemistry Athena SWAN Gold.

In her fantastic Beacon public lecture "The long game of STEM diversification", Professor Bertozzi talks powerfully about her own life and career experiences including what it means to be a gay woman in Chemistry in the US. It is just as moving and relevant today (if not more so). 

This event is part of the Department's activities to mark International Women's Day. It was initially arranged to coincide with International Day of Women and Girls in Science and LGBTQ+ History Month but was rearranged due to industrial action.  

All Welcome.

Tea & coffee will be provided. Feel free to bring your lunch and a mug.
