Obama EPA adminstrator Gina McCarthy has agreed to come to the South Shore to speak on the importance of electing science-literate women to public office. Also appearing will be Dr. Nandita Scott, cardiologist and elected member of the Hingham Recreation Commission, and Dr. Katie McBrine, pediatrician and candidate for State Senate, Plymouth and Norfolk.
"Gina McCarthy is a rock star! I'm thrilled that she and Dr. Scott will be able to come to Norwell and talk about how important it is that we have women filling these roles at every level," said Dr. McBrine.
The Women in Science and Politics event will take place at the South Shore Natural Science Center on September 29th from 1-3 PM. It is sponsored by the Committee to Elect Katie McBrine.
Dr. Katie McBrine, a pediatrician, is the Democratic candidate running for the Plymouth & Norfolk state senate seat. Her campaign, "A Prescription for Change," reflects a commitment to health and community through health care system reform, modernizing public transportation, providing unsurpassed educational opportunities for all, and stewarding the environment.
