Dinner Party
I think Ms. Elaine Pagliaro was a a great quest speaker and that she was funny too. I like the fact that she was very determined to be whatever she put her mind to because not many women would have had the courage to be in the mist of a career full of men. My group and I thought she was great because engaged her audience in her presentation and easily got along with us as well. We discussed about her on the third floor in Adanti Student Center.
Overall, what I got from her presentation was that in the early 1900s, there were quite few women who pursued degrees in the sciences but only few of them had the opportunity to actually get a job in a science career field. For example, women who had degrees in Chemistry ended up as teachers and not necessarily in the laboratories. Lab careers especially that of Forensic Science were mostly for men and not women. I was really impressed with her sense of humor and her encouragement to us students that we can do anything we put our minds to because she was able to do and achieve so many things in her life while working in the lab.
