Physics and cake?

Would you like to organize a get-together for women students on your physics course to chat? Why not hold an informal networking event for free by applying to us for a £25 bursary per institution to buy cake, drinks and nibbles and hear other womens' advice and experiences. Contact Gillian Butcher if you are interested in applying.
