The PA Young Women in Physics Conference will be held
Saturday, April 24, 2021, from 10:30 am - 1:10 pm remotely.
This event is geared primarily towards female high school students and college students who are interested in physics (and STEM), however, all are welcome. The goal of this event is to expose attendees to successful female role models, to nurture a passion for physics (and STEM), and to address the issue of gender bias in scientific communities.

The event is organized by a team of Lewisburg high school students with the guidance of members of the Bucknell physics faculty. The event is free, but we ask attendees to register on the event website.

For more information and registration, please see
https://pa-ywip.scholar.bucknell.edu/

After registering, you will be sent a Zoom link for the conference.
