Before a roundtable discussion with students in the Seismology Lab at the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, Vice President Joe Biden talked with young women conducting nanotechnology research and geochemistry and geochronology experiments. He commended them on “the incredible work they’re doing in a whole range of areas, from devices that may very well fundamentally alter the nature of medicine, to dealing with practical but stark problems like access to transportation.”
Engaging women in science, technology and engineering is something we’re promoting heavily in the US, the Vice President said.
