Support for this project brings together nine women scientists to share their paths to careers in mathematics, science and engineering with undergraduate and graduate students, recent Ph.D., teachers and more seasoned professionals. These nine women are members of the most under represented minority ethnic groups in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics in the United States, Americans of Mexican descent, Chicanos. Each contributor will read an excerpt from their collection of autobiographical essays that will comprise the book, "Flor y Ciencia: Chicanas in Mathematics, Science, and Engineering". The session will occur at the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS) National Conference to be held in Denver Colorado September 29-October 2, 2005. The structure of the session enhances interactions between the young scientists and the presenters by providing an extensive question and answer period following the readings. The broader impact of this activity includes training for young investigators in the culture of science, providing role models for young investigators attending the conference and when the book is published, it is anticipated that it will be used in history of science, women's studies and ethnic studies courses.

对该项目的支持使九位女科学家聚集在一起，与本科生和研究生、刚获得博士学位的学生、教师和经验丰富的专业人士分享她们在数学、科学和工程领域的职业道路。这九名女性是美国在科学、技术、工程和数学领域代表性最弱的少数民族，墨西哥裔美国人，奇卡诺人。每位投稿人将阅读他们的自传体文集中的一段节选，这些文集将组成《科学的地板：数学、科学和工程中的墨西哥人》一书。会议将于2005年9月29日至10月2日在科罗拉多州丹佛市举行的奇卡诺人和美洲原住民科学促进协会（SACNAS）全国会议上举行。会议的结构通过在阅读之后提供广泛的问答时间来增强年轻科学家和演讲者之间的互动。这项活动的更广泛的影响包括培训科学文化方面的年轻研究人员，为参加会议的年轻研究人员提供榜样，预计这本书出版后将用于科学史、妇女研究和种族研究课程。
