Speakers: Andrea Gomez, Valerie Were, and Helen Cheng
500 Women Scientists is partnering with taste of science for the 2018 festival by hosting a Science Salon. Science is integral to sustaining a healthy planet and thriving communities. Find out how, as our three speakers explore the connection between their scientific research and issues of climate change, resiliency, and environmental sustainability.
