"Spending the weekend at the Scientista Symposium was one of the best experiences of my life. It is great to know that there is a strong community of women working hard to change the world and accomplish their dreams. I met some people that I am sure I will keep in contact for hopefully the rest of my life.”
“I had such a wonderful time at the Scientista Symposium! I loved every moment of it, from the recruiter fair to all the panels and workshops. It was such an amazing opportunity to be able to connect and network with so many people who are in the same field as me. I made many friends that I will hopefully be in contact with throughout the years!”
