The event will be held from 4-5 p.m. in the Durham Research Center Auditorium.<\/p>\n<p>The program, titled &#8220;UNMC&#8217;s Women in Science:  Our Voices, Our Stories,&#8221; will be sponsored by the McGoogan Library of Medicine in partnership with the Women&#8217;s Mentoring Group and the UNMC Office of Faculty Development. <\/p>\n<p>The four panelists are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Jasmine Marcelin, M.D., assistant professor, infectious diseases, associate medical director, Antimicrobial Stewardship Program, UNMC Division of Infectious Diseases;\n<li>Amber Donnelly, Ph.D., professor and director of cytotechnology education, UNMC College of Allied Health Professions;\n<li>Ashley Wysong, M.D., chair of the UNMC Department of Dermatology; and\n<li>Tammy Kielian, Ph.D., professor of pathology and microbiology and UNMC&#8217;s 11th Science Laureate.\n<\/ul>\n<p>The panel will be livestreamed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/livevideo\/unmc_live1.html\">here<\/a>. Shortly following the panel, a recording will be available for viewing. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I wanted to participate to provide helpful suggestions and encouragement for individuals at any stage of their scientific career,&#8221; Dr. Kielian said. &#8220;I will share what I consider are important attributes for a successful career in academic science &#8212; namely, building a strong support network, identifying mentors who are invested in your success, and achieving a work-life balance that is optimal for your career goals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There are so many reasons why participating in an International Day of Women and Girls in Science panel is important to me,&#8221; Dr. Marcelin said. &#8220;As a young girl growing up in the Caribbean, my life was filled with women around me who were leaders in their fields. My physician was a woman, my country&#8217;s prime minister was a woman, and it never occurred to me that I wouldn&#8217;t be a physician myself simply because of my gender or race. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I moved to North America, I was surprised to realize that women of color did not reflect the general population demographics. I became determined to support every female or minority youth I encountered and model for them that they too, can choose science and medicine and succeed.  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Today, I am a fierce advocate for women and minorities in medicine on social media (Twitter @DrJRMarcelin) and in everyday interactions, to increase the representation within my field of infectious diseases. I want to normalize being a woman of color in medicine for all the young people out there who may have been told (implicitly or explicitly) that they can&#8217;t, so that they can confidently and unapologetically respond: &#8216;I CAN.'&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Each panelist will speak for 10 minutes about their current work, as well as their journey and obstacles they may have faced. A Q&#038;A will follow their talks.<\/p>\n<a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"\/secure-location.php\" style=\"display: none;\"
