<blockquote type="cite" cite>"For the first time in our nation's
history, women now represent half of all workers and are becoming the
primary breadwinners in more families than ever before" (Maria
Shriver, A Woman's Nation). In the sciences, however, women continue
to be underrepresented; according to the U.S. Department of Labor's
Highlights of Women's Earnings in 2009, women represent only about
30% of workers in life, physical, and social science occupations and
earn about 88% of what men in the field earn. In addition, women
experience unique challenges throughout their careers and can make
missteps during the job search process or in their jobs that could
cost them the position, a promotion, etc. Come hear from our panel how
they achieved their successes, what mistakes they made along the way,
and what special issues you will need to consider as a woman in the
sciences! RSVP requested through <a
