Dr. Rita R. Colwell is the Director of the National Science Foundation. She spearheaded the agency’s emphases in K-12 science and mathematics education, graduate science and engineering education/training and the increased participation of women and minorities in science and engineering. The Mindlin Lecture was created by the Katherine Reinleitner in memory of her father to promote diversity in the sciences and to bring science to the public.

BIOLOGY NETWORKING NIGHT DATES FOR ACADEMIC YEAR 2006-07:
OCTOBER 25TH, JANUARY 25TH, APRIL 11TH, AND JULY 18TH
CALL (206) 685-2185 TO SIGN-UP TO ATTEND OR BE A PANELIST
Creating connections between students and alumni to build a stronger community at the UW Department of Biology. Participants get a chance to meet people from a variety of fields, all with one thing in common, a degree from UW Biology (or Botany or Zoology from pre-merger years). A small panel of alumni professionals will share their career building experiences since graduation. Leading by example, they teach students ways to reach specific career goals, describing what worked and what didn’t work along the way. Students will get insight into jobs that they had never even considered pursuing before. Even recent graduates who are still building their resumes are encouraged to come and network with other alumni for career development.
