Just a quick note to highlight one of our newer groups on Nature Network.
Mums in Science was set up a couple of days ago by Dr Shara Cohen as a discussion place for…well, mums in science. They’re also the first group to tag themselves with the word ‘stress’. Read into that what you will.
If you find yourself juggling a career in the lab with the pressures of parenting, why not dip in and share your experiences.
Dr Cohen has kindly arranged a discount for Nature Network readers at the Surviving as a Woman in Science conference (hosted by EuroSciCon). Use the special access code here to register for just £50 (a saving of over £400 on the standard cost).
Thanks Matt, busy lifestyles and stress permitting, hopefully this site will become an area where people with similar problems can discuss practical and fun issue relating to being a parent and a scientist. We have had quite a bit of interest in the group already and I know that there are a lot of people out there with loads to talk about on the subject
