EWOC EastCan Career Panel

Coming soon!

Empowering Women in Organic Chemistry (EWOC)

Empowering Women in Organic Chemistry (EWOC) was founded by a group of organic chemists and others who support women in science as an opportunity to recognize, identify and retain women in the field of organic chemistry, regardless of gender or any other protected characteristic. They have various chapters across the US and Canada, including EWOC EastCan.

For the fifth year in a row, QOMSBOC will be partnering with EWOC EastCan to deliver a Friday evening career panel! See below for details!
