An estimated 3,000 PhD-trained women opt out of the scientific workforce every year. (Why Women Leave Science - Fixing the leaky pipeline has become a matter of national competitiveness; By Sue V. Rosser and Mark Zachary Taylor, PhD '06). At the Garvan-Olin Medal Symposium - �Stay at the Table� � you will hear from and have an opportunity for an open panel discussion with 6 women who have stayed at the table; including Dr. Carol Van Hartesveldt, NSF Acting Division Director for Graduate Education.  Dr. Van Hartesveldt and the other panelists will share what challenges they face, how they have thrived, and what you can do in your own careers when you face challenges.  And stay with us after the Symposium for the kick off of �Just Cocktails�, the new WCC event inspired by the need to help us all stay at the table!
