All the forums on Zoom run from 11 am to 2 pm (US Eastern Daylight Time, EDT: UTC−04:00).
WomenExplore Reimagined
The Fall 2023 series of meetings will be alternating formal and informal meetings continuing our focus on identifying and exploring the important issues of our day, along with investigating topics of interest to the women who attend. The first meeting of this series will be a formal lecture on 14th September by astrophysicist Dr Saeqa Vrtilek of the Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian, author of New Windows on the Universe. She will discuss new means of exploring the universe.
An exciting bonus this fall is watercolor lessons entitled "Virtual Painting Across Continents!" by well-known artist Ival Stratford Kovner, MS, MFA. Find the supply list here . These workshops will take place on informal weeks from 11 am to noon, when these meetings are Zoom.
