Science on Tap
Monthly on the last Wednesday of the month.
Come one, come all to the “science café” in Santa Cruz. This event is designed to connect the Santa Cruz community to the latest research happening just up the hill at U.C. Santa Cruz. It is not an exclusive “club meeting” for scientists and science majors - we aim to appeal to all audiences! So come join us at the MAH, grab a beer, relax, and hear some interesting and cutting-edge science that’s happening near you!
Science on Tap is based on the Nova and Sigma Xi "science café" model and is generally on the last Wednesday of every month.
CoRE: Supporting and Empowering Women in Academia
CoRE (for Community of Replenishment and Empowerment) is devoted to supporting and empowering women in academia through intensive weekend retreats. I will talk about the 30-year history of CoRE (originally called Nag’s Heart), our goals, our many retreats (>100) focused on a wide range of themes, our retreat formula/process, our diverse participants (>600) at all levels of academia, and our outcomes based on responses to our questionnaire. In addition to informing the community about our efforts, I hope my talk will generate ideas for future CoRE retreats and participants and perhaps inspire spin-off efforts by other groups needing support, empowerment, and community.
Who: Everyone! Not just scientists!
When: Last Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm (schedule subject to change due to weather/availability, see newsletter for up to date information)
Where: Behind the Museum of Art and History (MAH), 705 Front Street, Santa Cruz
