The inaugural Women in Science and Culture virtual celebration and fundraiser will take part on February 18th hosted by the Natural History Museums of Los Angeles County. The virtual event next will honor Chicana activist, artist, and muralist Barbara Carrasco, and seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones, founder of the Dr. Lucy Jones Center for Science and Society, for their exemplary work in the fields of art and science.
