\"\"<\/a>In January 2019, undergraduate students McKenzie\u00a0Meyer, Austin Mullins, Acacia Patterson, Elena\u00a0Wennstrom and Kasey Yoke, accompanied by graduate students\u00a0Mackenzie\u00a0Lenz and Nicole Quist, participated in the Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP)<\/a> at the University of Washington<\/a>. The conference is a venue for students to share their research, to hear from successful women in physics, to learn about graduate school and employment, and to meet other physicists. The participants heard from keynote speaker Dr.\u00a0Fabiola Gianotti of CERN, and others who discussed their careers and addressed the barriers to the success of women and minorities in STEM. The group also toured condensed matter\u00a0labs in UW’s physics department and labs at the\u00a0Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics,\u00a0which are interested in\u00a0dark matter, accelerator physics, nuclear physics, and gravity. During the “Physics Slam,” faculty members competed to deliver the most entertaining presentation of their research, and one of the many attendees to present posters was OSU’s Kasey Yoke who authored “Validation of Anti-Neutrino Data from the MINERvA Experiment at Fermilab” co-authored by physics department head Dr. Heidi Schellman. The group also heard from a career panel highlighting the diverse employment opportunities for physicists, and they had the opportunity to meet with representatives of employers in small groups. The participants attended sessions including those on impostor syndrome, applying and succeeding in graduate school, participating in undergraduate research, applying to jobs in the industry, and writing in science. This annual conference is open to all undergraduate physics majors and proved to be an invaluable experience for the attendees. There are several venues around the country where the CUWiP conferences are held simultaneously. OSU hosted the Pacific Northwest CUWiP<\/a> conference\u00a0i<\/a>n 2016 and in 2020, the Pacific Northwest CUWiP will be at Washington State University<\/a>.<\/p>\n
