Women in Science NightLife

We’re kicking off Women’s History Month by hearing from local women in science at the helm of human health research. Ologies podcast host Alie Ward returns to lead a panel of Bay Area scientists as they discuss their latest discoveries amidst the ongoing pandemic. Among them is Izabela Mauricio Rezende, a virologist and postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University studying the epidemiological and evolutive aspects of COVID-19, and UC Berkeley’s Tulika Singh, PhD, an immunologist and virologist specializing in vaccine development. We’ll also examine the scope of women-led research at the Academy, from the history of scientists at the museum to current advances in biodiversity and health. Explore interactive, specimens, and research displays from the Academy’s scientific collections, and celebrate the groundbreaking discoveries of women in science.
