Dr. Elizabeth M. McNally, Director of the Center for Genetic Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, and holder of the 19th Ida M. Green Distinguished Visiting Professorship, Honoring Women in Science & Medicine, will deliver the lecture named to honor late Mrs. Green on Wednesday, February 1, at 4 p.m. in the Excellence in Education Foundation Auditorium (NB2.101).
The Green Professorship is a two-day event, hosted by the Women in Science and Medicine Advisory Committee (WISMAC) that includes one-on-one meetings with senior faculty, small group gatherings with students, junior faculty, and trainees, as well as a University Lecture.

The Ida M. Green Distinguished Visiting Professorship, Honoring Women in Science & Medicine was established to honor the wife of Texas Instruments co-founder Cecil H. Green, also now deceased. Mrs. Green was a great supporter of opening career paths for women in science and medicine and provided a major bequest to the Foundation.
