Mentoring Women in Science
The next meeting of the women in science group at Brandeis will focus on a discussion of the role of mentoring in the career of women scientists. Ruth Charney and Eve Marder will lead the group in talking about how to seek out mentors at important junctures in a woman’s career, what to expect from a mentor, and how to best create a support system that reinforces the goals of women scientists.
Please email Katie with any questions.
