Expanding your Horizons (EYH)
Due to the inclement weather in February, EYH was moved to May 4, 2019. Several of our members turned out to help middle school girls learn about STEM careers through this event. Over 100 girls attended from area schools including Yakima and Moses Lake.
Congratulations to the EWS-Framatome Scholarship winner!
Supriya Charuhas Karekar is this year's winner of the EWS-SWE Framatome Scholarship.
Supriya is a Ph.D. candidate at the Department of Biological Systems Engineering at Washington State University, Tri-Cities. Her doctoral research focuses on development of systems to achieve higher mass transfer rates for gas liquid fermentation for increased production of volatile fatty acids, bio-engineering of rumen for reduction in methane emission from ruminants and development of in situ separation processes for extraction of fermentation products. Along with these primary projects, she has also successfully worked on production of lignin carbon fibers, a project that was given to her as a work assignment. She has presented her work at peer meetings and conferences. She has traveled to Aalborg University, Copenhagen, Denmark for her Ph.D. research project. As a part of her internship, she has worked at Lanzatech as a plant supervisor and was promoted to a site lead very quickly after for her excellent performance at work. Apart from her research accomplishments, she has served as an International Student Ambassador at Washington State University, Tri-Cities, to help and guide new graduate and under-graduate student applicants. She is a part of the WSU Tri-Cities volleyball team and has represented WSU at intercollegiate volleyball competitions. She was also a EWS-SWE judge for the 2019 Mid Columbia Science Fair, and has presented to K-12 students and parents on “Being a Woman in Science and Engineering” at the 2017 Richland Three Rivers Science Fair. Before coming to U.S.A, she pursued her Bachelors and Masters in Biotechnology from University of Mumbai, India. She believes that "No science is a science unless it benefits the mankind".

Upcoming Events
Coyote Canyon Mammoth Site Tour
When: July 20, 2019 @ 9 am
Save the date: EWS will be touring the Coyote Canyon Mammoth Tour Site! We will open up registration on our website in a few weeks.
In November 1999, mammoth bones were discovered in a quarry south of Kennewick, Washington. The site was left undisturbed until it was rediscovered in 2008. At that time, it was established that the mammoth bones were located in Ice Age Flood deposits. Upon rediscovery, excitement grew that this site might offer a unique opportunity for students, teachers, and researchers to investigate and study a well-preserved mammoth find in the context of Ice Age flood deposits. Formal excavation of the site began in September, 2010.
