March 8th is International Women’s Day, a great opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments of women in our lives. Here at the School of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs we are all about research promotion for our students, and so to celebrate this special day we have a marathon of three Grad Chats! Each of these casual interviews is with a woman researcher from Queen’s and each of them showcases how special the everyday contributions are from women at our university.
