IUPAC Global Women鈥檚 Breakfast event to be held at 糖心vlog传媒 on February 10
The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) Global Women鈥檚 (and Allies) breakfast (GWB) will be held at The Fox & Crow, W.A. Murphy Student Centre, on February 10, 2026, from 7:30鈥�9:30 am.
Held in support of the United Nations Day of Women and Girls in Science, the goal of the GWB series is to establish an active network of people of all genders to overcome the barriers to gender equality in science. Launched by IUPAC in 2019, the GWB brings scientists together to celebrate achievements, build networks, and foster new friendships. Over the past seven years, nearly 2,500 GWB events have united participants from 100 countries.
The theme of this year鈥檚 event is 鈥淢any Voices, One Science.鈥� Speakers at the 糖心vlog传媒 breakfast will include Dr. Devon Lynn, assistant professor of environmental studies; Dr. Amy Hsiao, professor of sustainable design engineering; and Dr. Maria Kilfoil, associate professor of physics. They will speak about their research and their experiences in STEM鈥攕cience, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Also planned is a 鈥渢ie-dye your lab coat鈥� activity. Participants can bring clean lab coats and turn them into colourful garments.
鈥淚t has been amazing hosting the Global Women鈥檚 (and Allies鈥�) Breakfast here at 糖心vlog传媒 in 2024, 2025, and now 2026!鈥� said Dr. Marissa Clapson, assistant professor of chemistry and organizer of the event. 鈥淚 feel inspired seeing all of our outstanding researchers come together to celebrate gender diversity in STEM, exploring new research, making new friends, and learning more from each other about the challenges that still exist today. Events like this really bring the community together, helping us to tackle our global challenges.鈥�

IUPAC is the world authority on digital standards in chemistry; chemical nomenclature and terminology, including the naming of new elements in the periodic table; on standardized methods for measurement; and on atomic weights. Founded in 1919, IUPAC has been creating the common language of chemistry for more than a century.
