IC Women in Math Day - Saturday, February 8th.

01/31/20

 Have you ever wondered what people do with mathematics in the "real world"? Do you know what origami has to do with interstellar space travel? Join us for IC Women in Math Day!

 There are two events that are open to the public as part of the 3rd Annual IC Women in Math Day. All events are in Room 111 in the Park Center for Business and Sustainable Enterprise.

10:45-11:45: Saramoira Shields, Associate Director for the NASA/NY Space Consortium will present a session introducing the space-related applications of origami (with interactive activities!)

12:45-1:45: Career Panel

• Liana Nice, Associate Director of Breeding Sciences, Nature Source Improved Plants
