QUARTERLY BOOK CLUB

Women in Chemicals hosts a virtual book club for our community to gather, share ideas, and delve into books that focus on personal and professional development. We select a book quarterly to read together and meet once a month on Zoom to discuss the content. If you can’t make the virtual meetings, don’t fret, we are also posting weekly discussion questions on the Forum.
