About this event
Celebrating You is an opportunity that we have created to celebrate Black women in Science and/or science-related fields.
This event is an opportunity for Black women to come and feel seen and supported amongst others with similar experiences in Science. There will be time to network, socialise and celebrate the achievements of both yourself and other Black women in science.
As usual, we are grateful to the Academy of Medical Sciences for supporting this event and giving us the space to make this celebratory event possible.
Please see below for the answers to more FAQs.
