Celebrate the achievements and contributions of women in science with us on Friday, February 13, 2026, at Hood College! There will be a virtual option for those unable to attend in person.

In honor of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (February 11), our event focuses on creating space for women in science to share their insights and unique journeys in STEM. We encourage future women in science, allies, and STEM professionals to join us as we elevate these voices and foster community.

During the panel discussion, participants will hear firsthand from women in science as they share their perspectives on pursuing careers in science, advancing allyship and mentorship, achieving goals through self-advocacy, and more. There will be a Q&A session where the audience, both in-person and online, will have the opportunity to pose questions to the panelists. Afterwards, there will be a networking opportunity available to in person participants.

This hybrid event is a partnership between Woman to Woman Mentoring, Inc., Hood College, and Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc., current operator of the Frederick National Laboratory for Cancer Research.
