STEM Program Renee Skrabacz Presenting – Saturday, January 11, 2025 @ 1:00PM

This is a program you do not want to miss, for in the first
part of her presentation, Renee Skrabacz—our branch’s
STEM chair and the Associate Dean of Math, Science
and Engineering at ECC—will highlight the challenges
and triumphs she has experienced as a woman in science
as well as explain how they have shaped her career.
In the second part, Renee—who received her Masters in
Medical Microbiology and Immunology—will explain
how biological, hormonal and immune system differences
contribute to varying disease outcomes between
the sexes. She will also present current research on
whether viruses, such as influenza and coronavirus, affect
men and women differently.
