Our event “Ask Us Anything” was held on February 24th 2021, a Mental Health event featuring a panel discussion with Dr. Molly Hammell and Dr. Jessica Tollkuhn and moderated by Kat Denney and Connor Fitzpatrick on topics related to trainee mental health and
Science Cafes Last year we hosted 10 science cafes with local groups of young women in which CSHL scientists discussed their careers in science.

Fun With DNA DNALC Camp Last year we continued our collaboration with the CSHL DNA Learning Center for the WiSE Fun with DNA camp. Campers got to
participate in fun activities to learn about aneuploidy, gene regulation, neuroscience and more. Thank you to Amber Habowski, Alexa Pagliaro, Asad Lakhani, Matt Moss and Danielle Ciren for leading the activities and giving the girls a tour of campus.
McClintock Lectures In 2021 and 2022 we hosted 3 amazing speakers for our McClintock Lectures. Every year, in honor of CSHL scientist and Nobel Laureate, Barbara McClintock, 2 slots in the CSHL Lab-wide Seminar Series are reserved for prominent women scientists. In 2021 we hosted Dr. Miriam Merad and Dr. Joan Brugge and earlier this year we hosted Dr. Sarah A. Tishkoff. We are grateful all three women were able to meet with our trainees to discuss their perspectives on being a woman in science. Our next McClintock lecture will be with Akiko Iwasaki on April 7th.
