Description
The under-representation of women in science is a well-documented fact that is of increasing concern to educators, administrators and
government policy makers. This book, for women nearing the end of their formal training and beginning their careers in science, draws
upon the experience of successful female scientists in academia, industry and research institutes from across North America and Europe.
The contributors provide readers with a broad perspective on life as a scientist. Chapters address topics such as mentorship, networking
and balancing career and family responsibilities and discusses the current issues and concerns women face in their careers.
Audience
An invaluable resource not only for women scientists, mid-career and senior scientists, of both sexes, involved in mentoring female graduate
students, doctoral fellows and younger colleagues, career/guidance counsellors in secondary schools and colleges/universities, but also
for parents who want to support and encourage their daughters' interest in careers in science.
