| Women in Science Post-doctoral and Graduate Student Panel: Skills and advice for a career in science as a woman |
|
Graduate Women in Science and Engineering (GWISE) and the Women in Science Project will be hosting a Women in Science Post-doctoral and Graduate Student Panel. The panel will take place January 24, 2018 (Wednesday) from 5:30-8:30 p.m. in the GRAD Lounge (4 Currier Lane, Hanover).
We will be discussing skills and advice for a career in science as a woman. Dinner will be served for all attendees. The night will end with a workshop to develop some of those skills together where attendees will pair with our women postdocs and graduate students. We hope to see you there!
If planning to attend, please RSVP at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Jusm5B8jJMC70HV-x0kKCjcdB1Kpk7pxECnugcmT4Kw/edit?usp=sharing

| “Does Gender Matter?” – Dr. Ben A. Barres |
|
Whether from a released Google employee memo or research exploring why women are underrepresented in STEM fields, women in STEM remains an important topic. Dr. Ben Barres, Dartmouth Medical School ’79, published an interesting opinion piece in Nature in 2006 that is worth a read. It has come into the forefront again recently with Dr. Barres death in December. To read his piece, see:

| “A Scientists Gender Can Skew Research Results” |
|
National Public Radio (NPR) ran a story last week exploring how the gender of a researcher can influence the results. To learn more, you can listen to or read the article on the NPR website.

| LaTeX Intermediate Workshops |
|
Do you use LaTeX to typeset your documents? Are you interested in learning more about the many things you can do with LaTeX? Mathematics graduate students Daryl DeFord, David Freund, and Kate Moore along with librarian Katie Harding will be presenting a series of four intermediate LaTeX workshops. These workshops are intended for those with some prior LaTeX experience. Follow the links below for workshop descriptions and to register.
All workshops will be held in Kemeny 201 and it is recommended that you bring a laptop. You can find more information about LaTeX at Dartmouth LaTeX workshops and on the library’s LaTeX and BibTeX guide.

| Rockefeller University, Biomedical Research Assistant Position |
|
|
Learn more and apply via DartBoard before 9pm on 1/16!
Rockefeller University, New York, NY, is currently hiring students for 1-2 year biomedical Research Assistant positions to work closely with senior scientists and participate in challenging, complex, cutting-edge research projects. Research Assistants will learn an immense amount of information about science and discovery. The learning curve will be steep and the work hours long (on occasion), but it will all be worth it. The techniques will be complex and numerous and diverse, spanning the whole spectrum of translational research from molecular/cellular/genetic/ chemical/bioinformatics to in vitro to in vivo.

| Pasteur Foundation Summer Internship Program |
|
|
For over 15 years, the Pasteur Foundation Summer Internship Program has provided U.S. college undergraduates, entering their Senior year, a rare opportunity to work on supervised research projects at the Institut Pasteur. The Foundation's goal is to encourage and inspire students in the pursuit of a scientific career within the context of an international laboratory experience.
Each year, selected laboratories at the Institut Pasteur host U.S. undergraduate students. Internships must begin on or after Monday, June 4, 2018 and conclude on Friday, July 27, 2018, for a total of ten weeks. 2018 applications must be submitted on or before Friday, January 26, 2018.
During the internships, interns will carry out research supervised by a lab mentor. Applicants should be eager to engage with a different culture, and self-sufficient enough to arrange travel and secure housing in Paris. Depending on availability, affordable housing in a residence on campus may be possible. Interns will receive $6,500 to defray travel, housing and living expenses.
Eligibility:
• Be undergraduates with an excellent academic record and a strong interest in biosciences and biomedical research (prior lab experience is highly recommended);
• Have completed three full years (six semesters) of college course work by the time the internship commences (be a rising senior);
• Not have received an undergraduate degree at the time of the internship.
Knowledge of French is not necessary, but a desire to learn it is advisable. This program is open to U.S. citizens only.

| Women in Science Symposium & Career Fair (Scientista Symposium) |
|
|
The Scientista Symposium is a two-day conference that empowers undergraduate and graduate women to continue pursuing careers in STEM fields, by introducing them to inspirational role models and providing them with opportunities to hone professional development skills and showcase their work.
The 2018 Symposium will take place on April 13-15 at Microsoft headquarters in New York City, and will bring together hundreds of young women from across the country. This year's theme is Innovation in STEM: Scientistas advancing the field". The conference includes a recruiting fair, speakers from across the country, a poster session to showcase graduate and undergraduate research, a pitch competition, and networking events over the course of the two days. We have been fortunate enough to attract influential women in academia, pharma, and start-ups to speak at this summit and last year's event welcomed over 300 attendees from 40+ universities across the nation attend, including Harvard, MIT, Barnard, and Cornell.
The Scientista Foundation is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that empowers pre-professional women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) through content, communities, and events. Our mission is to address the lack of resources, community, and role models for college women in science and engineering. Scientista serves to connect all communities of women in STEM at campuses across the nation and internationally, giving such important organizations more visibility and resources, and building a strong, cohesive network of women in science that can act as one voice. Scientista is currently the largest network of campus women across STEM disciplines with chapters and affiliates at 15+ universities across the country and internationally.
