To the Yale School of Medicine Community,
Please mark your calendars for March 6, 2019 when we will host a symposium honoring Joan Steitz, PhD: Metamorphosis: Perspectives on Science and Mentorship along the Career Trajectory.
This promises to be an enlightening event during which faculty from Yale and other institutions will share their perspectives on their work and opportunities, challenges, and work-life balance. The symposium will culminate with the Second Annual Perspectives of Women in Science Lecture, given by Professor Steitz, and will be followed by a reception.
I invite all members of the YSM community to join us for the symposium in Harkness Auditorium, beginning at noon. Please register by clicking here.
Sincerely,
Robert J. Alpern, MD
Dean and Ensign Professor of Medicine
