The Pacific Region chapter of Alpha Lambda, Graduate Women in Science, will celebrate one year of activities with a public lecture, "Return to Pono: Challenging the Values of Modern Science."

The illustrated lecture by Dr. Harriet H. Natsuyama will take place on Tuesday, January 27, from 6:30-8 p.m. in room 411 of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa‘s Queen Liliuokalani Center for Student Services.

Natsuyama is a former GWIS president and a 1991 UH Distinguished Alumni honoree.

Alpha Lambda, established in 1921, is dedicated to promoting education and professional roles for women in science. The Pacific Region chapter was formally established at the GWIS national meeting in June 2008 in Rockville, MD.

Chrystie Naeole, a UHM doctoral candidate in cell and molecular biology, serves as chapter president. Membership is open to women holding graduate degrees in scientific disciplines who reside in Hawaiʻi, Alaska and other Pacific Rim areas.

The chapter is sponsored by the UH Mānoa Office of Student Equity Excellence and Diversity.

The event is open to the public. On-campus parking is available for $3. For more information, see http://www.gwis.org.
