Women in Physics (WiP) at TMU

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Did you know that 34% of Canadians with a STEM degree are women? But they only make up 23% of the STEM workforce? On a global scale, less than 30% of researchers are women, and women only make up 15% of management!

Have you heard? WiP is looking for new members to lead the 2024-2025 team! Positions are available for undergraduate and graduate students in the Department of Physics at TMU! forms.gle/TiHT8KvRx1r7PA…

That’s a wrap on the first Coffee Chat of 2024☕️ From coffee, candies, to valentines day cards & making bracelets, we had so much fun getting to know you all!! We announced that WiP applications to join the 2024-2025 team are now open!!! forms.gle/TiHT8KvRx1r7PA…
