Women in Physics, Math, and Astronomy at Caltech: doing science, fostering community amongst scientists of marginalized genders - the group business.

[WiPMA @CaltechWiPMA]

Cool down from the summer heat and join @CaltechWiPMA for an ice-cream social on Monday July 15th 1 - 2 pm in the East Bridge Lawn! RSVP here: https://t.co/EpCCEgt3nv

If you or anyone you know is a gender minority interested in applying for a PhD in physics or a related field, check out the *all expenses paid* FUTURE event @Caltech!

We'll be helping out with this event, and our own @MiaDoesAstro is one of the co-chairs!

We have one last event before the @Caltech academic year ends!!! Come join us for coffee with @NSF director Dr. France Córdova!

[WiPMA @CaltechWiPMA]

π day best day!!! Come join us tomorrow!!!

[Caltech @Caltech]

Tomorrow is #PiDay, and it's not too late to enter your pie into the Pi Day Pie Competition, hosted by #WiPMA (of @PMACaltech) and the Caltech Math Dept! https://t.co/FllH9IiWx2

[WiPMA @CaltechWiPMA]

Note that many of the women @PMACaltech do amazing science while *also* dealing with academia's systemic barriers and inequities. So on this #IWD2019 we encourage you to join us not just in celebrating these women, but also in breaking down those barriers for future generations!

[WiPMA @CaltechWiPMA]

Happy #InternationalWomensDay ! We are so proud to celebrate and support all the brilliant women scientists at @PMACaltech!

THIS WEDNESDAY: all undergrads interested in physics/math/astro grad school are welcome to join us for a workshop! You'll hear from @PMACaltech grads and get *personalized* one-on-one advice about your grad options! (and ofc there will be FREE FOOD). RSVP: https://t.co/QLS6CdlqU5

[WiPMA @CaltechWiPMA]

Thanks for coming! And thanks to everyone else who came--we promise we'll bring more 🍕🍕🍕 to future events!

Come join us for our first journal club of the year TODAY at noon! We'll be discussing the recent talk at CERN... and we'll have PIZZA!

[WiPMA @CaltechWiPMA]

Next week we're going to have a journal club about the talk at CERN, mainly to affirm our commitment to improving equity in science, and to discuss how we can address harmful and unscientific statements like the ones in the CERN talk. Stay tuned for more details!!!

[WiPMA @CaltechWiPMA]

Wow!!!! What an awesome statement 🙌🙌🙌

[WiPMA @CaltechWiPMA]

We're also super excited for Dr. Strickland, the third woman to ever receive a #NobelPrize in physics! We hope the Nobel committee continues to recognize women and other minoritized scientists for their incredible research.

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the #NobelPrize in Physics 2018 “for groundbreaking inventions in the field of laser physics” with one half to Arthur Ashkin and the other half jointly to Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland.

[WiPMA @CaltechWiPMA]

We're inspired by @francesarnold's awesome work here at Caltech! Congratulations on the well-deserved award!

[Frances Arnold @francesarnold]

Thank you everyone! I love this supportive community. I'm stunned, and now I just have to get home from Dallas...

[WiPMA @CaltechWiPMA]

A great resource! We'll be making a physics version of this available at the #FUTUREofPhysics event!
