Penn to explore 'Women in Science' at symposium

Former Princeton University President Shirley Tilghman will be among the speakers at Penn's "Women in Science" symposium on Oct. 29. The event, organized by the department of cell and developmental biology at Penn's Perelman School of Medicine, will feature an "all-female panel of luminiaries" in fields such as epigenetics - the study of gene changes not caused by changes in a person's DNA sequencing- and stem cell biology. The program will begin at 1 p.m. with a presentation by keynote speaker, Nobel Laureate Christiane NA1 4sslein-Volhard, who will discuss the development of color patterns in different fish species.
