Mission

The mission of the MWCC is to strengthen the contribution of women in the chemical sciences. We serve early and midcareer scientists through programming and invite graduate and undergraduate students to participate.

MetroWomen Chemists Committee / Younger Chemists Committee

The Metro Women Chemist Committee held a networking dinner Thursday, May 28th starting at 6:00 pm. The event took place at *Taro* Eclectic Asian Cuisine at 32 Church Street in Montclair, NJ (973-509-2266). (Walking distance from the NJ Transit station) This restaurant is a BYOB establishment.

This provided a wonderful opportunity to network with other women chemists from the area. The speaker, Anita Brandolini, talked about her transition from industry to academe. Following her talk, we had an opportunity to network and share business cards.

All are welcome to join at these events! We are planning to do this at least twice a year, in the spring in North Jersey and in the fall in New York.
