DIP RAFFLE GIVEAWAY WINNER ANNOUNCED: WEEK 8

Congratulations to Hannah Strelchenko, the randomly selected winner of the Week 8 DIP Pilot Raffle Giveaway, who has been awarded an iPad case donated by the PEOPLE Program.

Thank you to Hannah for submitting two initatives for the UW Skin Disease Research Center (UW SDRC) collaboration with WISELI Celebrating Women in Science and Engineering Grant.

The UW SDRC Seminar series, through the Visiting Professors Program, brings distinguished investigators to UW-Madison to share their expertise and present their current research. With support from WISELI, UW SDRC invited additional women scientists to discuss their work and hosted a facilitated discussion forum on topics related to gender and careers in science and medicine, particularly ensuring work/life blance and building effective career networks. It is the UW SRDC’s hope that inviting prominent women speakers in Dermatology to discuss their basic science and translational research, as well as provide a forum to discuss gender and careers in science and medicine, these events will promote and encourage women to pursue STEM degrees and careers.

We encourage campus community members to continue reporting information to DIP, as this effort is essential to creating the best database possible!
