In the past, that might have been fair; even in the early 1970s, women made up less than 10% of the science and engineering workforce. In just one generation, however, that number has jumped past 25% — and Baylor graduates are among the leaders in that trend.<\/p>\n

Dr. Julia Chan, a 1993 Baylor grad, recently received the Agnes Fay Morgan Research Award<\/a>, given by Iota Sigma Pi, an honorary society for women in chemistry, for research achievement in chemistry or biochemistry to a woman under the age of 40.<\/p>\n

Chan, now a chemistry professor at LSU<\/a>, serves as chair of the Division of Solid State Chemistry for the Inorganic Chemistry Division of the American Chemical Society. She was honored as an Outstanding Young Alum in 2006<\/a> by the Baylor Alumni Association and speaks highly of her time at Baylor<\/a>. An active researcher who has published more than 65 papers and given 75+ invited talks, Chan spent this past spring as a visiting research fellow at the Institute of Solid State Physics at University of Tokyo.<\/p>\n
