Do you love science and technology? Do you like discussing recent advances in science? Would you like to meet like minded people and network with them ?

The 2nd Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST) Brown Bags talk at The University of British Columbia will be on Tuesday (Dec 17th) from 12 to 1 PM at the Chan Gunn Pavilion (Room 200).

Our speaker this time is Adriana Suarez-Gonzalez, who will be speaking about single cell omics research and her career path.

She is a SCWIST member and has a background in Genome Sciences and currently works as a Science and Technology Advisor for 10X Genomics (https://www.linkedin.com/in/adrianasuarezgonzalez/). She’ll be speaking about the latest research on single cell omics, spatial technologies and the impact these new advances are having on oncology, immunology and other research areas, as well as her career path.

There would be a great networking opportunity amongst attendees, so a great opportunity to get to know more science enthusiasts at UBC!
