Faculty First Year Seminars 191CNS03 - Women in Science

The sciences are defined by those who push past the bounds of human knowledge and break down the thought barriers of their time. This seminar will explore the stories of women scientists who changed the world and will celebrate their inspiring discoveries which upended our understanding of the cosmos, the planet and ourselves. These pioneers paved the way for future generations of women scientists and explorers. By learning about their lives, we seek to understand the cultural attitudes, historical forces and social realities that made science what it is today and what it will be tomorrow.
