<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I've gotten a few messages of confusion related to Faith's announcement. I'd like to clarify that the SWMS organization that exists, and which Gabi, Jessica, Mara and I are involved in, is the central organization that is currently working on becoming a non-profit. We are not a SWMS chapter, and we do not organize smaller-scale events at WHOI. Although SWMS started at WHOI/MIT and the central organization currently has strong representation from the Joint Program, the forthcoming non-profit version of SWMS will be a national organization that does not focus on WHOI-based programming.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope that folks will sign up to be part of a SWMS chapter, because I definitely want the tradition of SWMS to remain active here at WHOI and in Woods Hole in general. </div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div>Chrissy</div><div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#666666" style="font-size:12.8px">Christina Hernandez</font><div style="font-size:12.8px"><font color="#666666">Graduate Student<br></font><div><font color="#666666">MIT-WHOI Joint Program in Oceanography</font></div><div><font color="#666666">Biology Dept- Llopiz Lab</font></div><div><font color="#666666">MS #33</font></div><div><font color="#666666">508-289-3253</font></div></div></div></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Jul 19, 2019 at 10:36 AM Faith Joan Duffy <<a href="mailto:fduffy@mit.edu">fduffy@mit.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am writing to gauge the level of interest of the Woods Hole scientific community in having a Society for Women in Marine Science (SWMS) chapter in Woods Hole. The goal of SWMS is to amalgamate scientists from all career levels to form
a supportive community, host events, celebrate work done by women in marine science and promote female visibility in the field. At Woods Hole, there is particular interest to unite individuals from all associations and backgrounds, including students, staff,
technicians, and scientists who contribute to making the beauty of marine science happen!
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Attached is a brief google form that asks a few questions about your interest in SWMS and the types of events you would like to participate in. If you are able to take the time to fill out this form, we would greatly appreciate it! Folks
from all associations and involvements are strongly encouraged to respond. Lastly, if you would like to be a part of spearheading this mission to introduce a SWMS chapter in Woods Hole, please reach out to me either via email or phone.
