Innovators Speaker Series: STEM Talks

You got us one step closer to closing the gender gap in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) by supporting Innovators Speaker Series: STEM Talks.

It is so important to close the gender gap in STEM—women and men bring different life experiences to projects and, together, help guide the direction of scientific inquiries.

Thank you to our gracious speakers. You helped us highlight success stories of women in STEM and inspired change:

Dr Amiee Chan, President and CEO of Norsat International, Inc.
Dr Elizabeth Croft, Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, UBC and former NSERC Chair For Women In Science And Engineering (BC/Yukon)
Dr Jennifer Gardy, Senior Scientist, Molecular Epidemiology, BC Centre for Disease Control
Janet H. Kennedy, President of Microsoft Canada
Genevieve L’Esperance, Software Engineer, Pivotal Labs

Proceeds from the evening supported Science World’s Scientists and Innovators in the Schools program.
