Librarian For Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Geology/Geography and member of the EIU Women in Science and Math (WiSM) Kirstin Duffin has curated several books from the Booth collection on women in science in support of an upcoming talk by Dr. Carlotta A. Berry.

Berry’s (free)  talk: “Wouldn’t Take Nothing For My Journey Now: Reflections and Adventures in Engineering“* on February 24th  will be on how she decided to major in engineering along with her experiences as both an undergraduate and a graduate in the field.

Dr. Berry is an Associate Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. She also serves as director of the Multidisciplinary Minor in Robotics and co-director of the Rose Building Undergraduate Diversity Program. She received her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Vanderbilt University. Her research interests are in robotics education, interface design, human-robot interaction and increasing underrepresented populations in STEM fields. On February 24th she will discuss how she decided to major in engineering along with her experiences as both an undergraduate and graduate student in the field. Learn about her research and why she believes more women in engineering should pursue advanced STEM degrees.

*Students must RSVP to aalvarado2@eiu.edu
by Wednesday, Feb. 17, to reserve a seat.
