The event will be live-streamed on Wednesday and archived, and the online audience is invited to submit questions.
Café events are free and open to students, faculty and staff. Both cafés are venues for students to share their interests informally during a conversation exchange in a friendly setting. The Science Cafe is hosted by Dr. Sarah Wyatt, Professor of Environmental & Plant Biology and Vice President of the Ohio University Chapter of Sigma Xi. The two series are sponsored by the Ohio University chapter of Sigma Xi and the Office of the Vice President for Research. Find the Science Café on Facebook and Twitter.

“We’ve taken the role of presidential spouse and made it into such an important position, a kind of position that the spouses of other world leaders don’t hold. I think there is great curiously about the role of the on-the-job political training that these unelected women hold,” Jellison says. Her interest in powerful women dates back to her childhood, when she would take trips to the library with her class and select books in which girls were the stars. Her hope is to see a woman elected as president in the near future.
