Description: "The Exceptions" recounts the fight of sixteen women scientists at MIT against sexism to achieve equal opportunity–a fight that went on to have far-reaching impacts nationwide. In the first part of the event, we will listen to a conversation between Kate Zernike and Prof Nancy Hopkins where we will hear about Prof Hopkins' research, career and work to promote gender equity in academia. The conversation will be followed by a Q & A session and then a Reception in front of Lipsett. We are excited to bring this rich and inspiring story to all members of the NIH community; all careers, genders, etc.! Individuals with disabilities who need reasonable accommodation to participate in this event should contact Eva Hellsberg at eva.hellsberg@nih.gov or 240-505-3901
