The discussion covered issues such as pay discrimination, workforce flexibility, and increased job opportunities for women.
Dr. Farmer was able to not only promote women in the North Shore, but also work NSIV is doing to help biotech and cleantech entrepreneurs build sustainable businesses and create jobs. “I was honored to be invited to the forum and even happier to have the opportunity to discuss the issues affecting startups directly with Secretary Solis,” Dr. Farmer commented after the event.
