"Bridging the Gap" is the theme of this year's Women in Science & Technology conference (formerly known as the Women In bioScience conference) sponsored by the San Diego chapter of the Association for Women in Science. This one-day symposium includes two keynote speakers and a series of workshops focusing on career and personal development. It is an excellent opportunity for members of the scientific community to network, develop new skills and explore career opportunities.
