Calling all women in organic chemistry! Empowering Women in Organic Chemistry (EWOC) was founded by a group of organic chemists and others who support women in science as an opportunity to recognize, identify and retain women in the field of organic chemistry, regardless of gender or any other protected characteristic.
EWOC has a chapter covering the New York and Connecticut region (NYConn). You can get involved by emailing to join the listserve at nyconn.ewoc@gmail.com, scan the QR code, or click the Learn More button!
EWOC offers support and growth for women pursuing careers in organic chemistry through mentorship, events, and collaboration. Each year EWOC hosts a conference. “Attendees reported that EWOC 2025 was inspiring, supportive, and empowering. The conference created a strong sense of belonging, expanded professional networks, and highlighted the visibility of successful women in organic chemistry. Participants noted they left with renewed confidence, strategies for self-care and mentorship, and practical actions like seeking sponsorship, reviewing scientific work regularly, and engaging more openly with peers and industry connections.” -EWOC website
