About the Exhibit

September 2016 – August 2017, Integrated Sciences Building Atrium.

This exhibit showcases 12 women who made significant contributions to the advancement of science over the last four hundred years. Inspired by a course on the history of women in science, the exhibit asks the question Where are the women? The answer is All around us – if you take the time to look.

The College of Natural Science’s Women in Science Initiative (WISI)  http://www.cns.umass.edu/faculty/women-in-science focuses on increasing the success of women scientists at all stages of their academic careers. Through this exhibit, we hope to inform and inspire visitors about the many contributions women have made to science throughout the centuries. More information about the exhibit, the women showcased, and more can be found on this web site.
