September 10, 2020 Women in Metrology Cocktail hour #1

CMSC 2020 September Speaker Series introduced the Women in Metrology cocktail sessions as an avenue to connect via mutually interesting topics. It kicked off with an overview of several women of science from history and current eras (Hedy Lamarr and the Measuring Woman Alice Fletcher, to name a couple) followed by how childhood gender roles predetermine one’s usage of measurements and how today’s youth is discovering metrology.  Listen to the discussion and drop Rina a note at treasurer@cmsc.org with your thoughts.
