As emphasized on the event’s website,
According to the National Science Foundation, out of the 14,000 professionals employed in atmospheric sciences, only 2,000 are women.
That’s only 14 percent.
I am personally aspiring to be part of this 14% and am glad that Northrop Grumman is presenting on such a topic; it should be a great event! For more information, visit Northrop Grumman’s website.
