Watch online: 2020 Inspiring Future Women in Science conference
Watch the live webcast beginning at 9 am ET on Monday, March 9, 2020.
A theoretical astrophysicist, who also happens to be an amazing science communicator with an upcoming book about the end of the universe. A CEO whose STEM background helps her run an automobile parts manufacturer with more than 29,000 employees spanning 17 countries. A cancer biologist studying difficult-to-treat cancers that are most prevalent in young Black women.
These are just a few of the impressive speakers set to address a crowd of nearly 200 high school students at Perimeter's annual Inspiring Future Women in Science conference.
For the third year in a row, Perimeter will also webcast the speakers and a panel discussion of other accomplished women in STEM live from the Institute's Mike Lazaridis Theatre of Ideas. (View talks from past years via Perimeter's YouTube channel.)

About PI
Perimeter Institute is the world’s largest research hub devoted to theoretical physics. The independent Institute was founded in 1999 to foster breakthroughs in the fundamental understanding of our universe, from the smallest particles to the entire cosmos. Research at Perimeter is motivated by the understanding that fundamental science advances human knowledge and catalyzes innovation, and that today’s theoretical physics is tomorrow’s technology. Located in the Region of Waterloo, the not-for-profit Institute is a unique public-private endeavour, including the Governments of Ontario and Canada, that enables cutting-edge research, trains the next generation of scientific pioneers, and shares the power of physics through award-winning educational outreach and public engagement.
