The Poster Project:Visualizing Women in Science, Mathematics and Engineering
The Poster Project is a collaboration between Pamela Davis Kivelson and Dusa McDuff and contains wonderful posters of women mathematicians and engineers. The primary goal of this project is to change the intellectual and emotional climate surrounding the idea of scientific research in order to increase the number of women and girls who choose to pursue careers related to the physical sciences and mathematics, and to retain, at the high school and university level and beyond, women who have already chosen such careers.
