One of the programs of the Initiative for Science Literacy is "Women in Science." This program encourages the participation of girls and women in science by making them aware of role models and examining efforts of these models in the advancement of science. It emphasizes mentoring, decreasing isolation and stereotyping, and creating supportive environments. Special efforts are made to promote pathways to success in academic and professional settings for women at the college level and beyond. One example is the exemplary symposium WOMEN OF SCIENCE held in the spring of 2005 at UW-Madison along with the traveling exhibit from the Chemical Heritage Foundation.
