The Annual C. S. Wu Colloquium brings outstanding women physicists in the tradition of Chien-Shiung Wu to Columbia and is partially supported by the generosity of her family.
Chien-Shiung Wu, a member of the Columbia University Physics Department from 1944-1980, was one of the greatest experimental physicists of all time. She was also a powerful advocate for correcting non-equality in the treatment of women in the sciences. You can find a summary of her life and achievements HERE.
