Hi everyone! Join us for our WiBBE Fall Social x Mentoring Kickoff on October 29th @ 5pm at the Broad Cafe Patio to paint pumpkins 🎃 and enjoy free cider/cookies! 🍪🍁 This is a great opportunity to meet other women in the division and say hi!
Today's Career Event is a success! a lot of excellent answers and engaging conversations 🥰 Thanks to all our inspiring panelists and friends that showed up!
Last week, we welcomed Dr. Gwyneth Card from @ZuckermanBrain for a coffee chat. Dr. Card was formerly a PhD student in the Dickinson lab, and we learned a lot from her unique experience transitioning from PhD student to @HHMIJanelia investigator, among many other things. 🪰👩🏻🔬
Happy International Women's Day from us at WiBBE! we are brewing up exciting events happening soon so stay tuned 🧙🏻♀️✨
We were very honored to host Dr. Gloria Choi @ChoiLaboratory for a coffee chat, where we got to learn more about her journey as a professor navigating the (relatively new) field of Neuroimmunology 🧠🦠, and gain advice and insights as a woman in STEM. 🤩
Thanks for coming! What a wonderful picture. We are so lucky to have Shelley as one of our board members 🥰❤️

To close out the year, WiBBE hosted a holiday luncheon for the Women in BBE staff members. We appreciate your efforts to make research at BBE possible!
Calling all faculty, @Caltech alumni, and working women in STEM, WiBBE is hosting a series of career day events to introduce our members to different post-grad career options. Fill out this form to join us! forms.gle/kDaVFSXRhcTqhv… #womenscientists #steminist #academicchatter
October 🎃 yoga this Friday led by our very own certified yogi Sarah Torres (who also happens to be lab manager of the Sternberg lab 🪱)! See you at the Hameetman multipurpose room (above Red Door cafe) and unwind with us 🧘♀️
Hello, hello. 👋🙋🏻♀️ Here to revive our Caltech Women in BBE twitter by posting pics from our very successful Tie-dye Happy Hour 🌈🎨🎉
@Caltech students, @CaltechGSC, @CaltechPostdocs: Retweet if you will join me in a walkout Monday June 27 at 2pm to protest the #RoeVsWade decision. Support diversity and equity in STEM by showing that this decision is unacceptable. I'll be taking the metro from Lake to DTLA.
