Mentoring circle #3: Managing Career & Outside Life! Excited to discuss these questions with you all at the next meeting!

Thanks to everyone who came out to our welcome dinner tonight! It was great to see some faces from last year and meet the new folks. Looking forward to a good year!

Our Director of Mentorship @taylorsoucy went to San Diego this summer to attend the American Chemical Society conference! There, she was able to meet up with Dr. Julie Fenton, who was a mentor to her during her undergraduate career. How was YOUR summer? Tag us in a post from your research and travels and we’ll regram it — plus enter you to win a copy of Code Girls! #womeninstem #womeninscience

One of our new Membership co-directors, Grace Chesmore, traveled to Germany to attend the Lindau Nobel Laureate Conference this summer! What did you do this summer? Post and tag us, we’ll regram your travel and research! #womeninstem #womeninscience

Welcome back, AWIS! To kick off the semester, we’re giving away a copy of Code Girls (courtesy of @literatibookstore). To enter, just follow us and tag us on a photo of you or your work from this summer. Did you go somewhere amazing for a conference? Work in a museum? Do fieldwork? Take a well-deserved vacation? Those are all great! We’ll leave this open until the end of September. Happy not-quite-fall-but-almost-sweater-weather! #backtoschool #giveaway #maketimetoread #womeninstem #womeninscience
