Today we will host our first Celebrating Women Chemists Luncheon of the semester! Our speaker will be Dr. Gwen Bailey, who just joined our department as a faculty member. Dr. Bailey comes to us from Caltech where she studied rare and reactive, terminal carbide complexes for C–C coupling from abundant feedstocks and also grew her first tomato garden! She received her Ph.D. from the University of Ottawa and her B.Sc. from the University of British Columbia. She will be telling us about her journey through chemistry and giving a bit of advice from her path. Check out her research page here!
