Women in Research – Women in Mercury

A networking dinner & spa treatment event

Join us for an inspiring Women-in-Research | Women-in-Mercury networking event at this year’s ICMGP2024 event! Gain unique perspectives and learn from the best in the field, as we dive into the world of mercury research with insights from our ex- and current co-chairs of the ICMGP: Dr Sandy Steffen (Canada), Prof Dr Celia Chen (USA), Prof Dr Milena Horvat (Slovenia), Dr Lesley Sloss (Scottland) and Dr Joy Leaner (South Africa), and our special guest, Dr Maggie Mills (Managing Editor |ES&T Letters|ACS ES&T Water|ACS ES&T Engineering|ACS ES&T Air), as they share their invaluable experiences and network with you.

Come prepared with questions to our panel, as they share and discuss their experiences and lessons learnt on the following topics:

  • empowering and raising the profile of women in mercury research,
  • encouraging women to take that extra step into leadership roles,
  • breaking barriers relating to stereotyping & career advancement,
  • overcoming burn-out and juggling family life,
