Portraits: Conversations on Imposter Syndrome

Portraits are images that convey both how we see ourselves and how we appear to the world. Much like portraits, imposter syndrome can cloud perceptions and cause us to question our capabilities, particularly when perception does not match reality.

Whether we are young or a seasoned veteran; a virtuoso; author; physician; professor; or business executive; a mom, sister, or daughter; many of us have crossed paths with it.

Join Eileen Pollack, one of the first women to graduate with a BS in Physics from Yale, and fellow Hopkins students and alumni on Wednesday, September 21.
She will discuss her experiences as a pioneer in the field; the barriers that women face in STEM; and how imposter syndrome impacted her during her college years.

• The presentation will be held via Zoom and there will be time for Q&A from attendees.
• The first 25 registrants will receive a copy of Eileen's book, The Only Woman in the Room: Why Science Is Still A Boys’ Club, published in 2015 by Beacon Press.
