Evaluating offers, </span><span style>comparing salary packages, and determining whether and how to </span><span style>negotiate is often the most stressful part of the job search for </span><span style>graduate students. Lack of contract related negotiation experience, </span><span style>unfamiliarity with the expectations and assumptions, and the </span><span style>commitment inherent in accepting an offer, all present an imposing </span><span style>situation. In this workshop, we will discuss what you should look for </span><span style>in a compensation package and how to negotiate with confidence.</span><br style>

<span style>Thursday 10:00am - 1:00pm<br>Historical perspective on women scientists ….<br>We will hear from women who study women’s contribution to science. Sara Richardson from the History of Science, Harvard will describe contributions of women scientists throughout history. How does a woman’s unique perspective and different approach change the direction and kinds of advances made in science? Anne Harrington from Harvard University will also be speaking. Other presenters will speak about a woman scientist who personally inspired them.<br>
<br>Friday 10:00am - 1:00pm<br>Women Innovators today …<br>We will hear from women using new technologies and innovations in their careers. Our keynote speaker is Angela Belcher, the W.M. Keck Professor of Energy at MIT. Dr. Belcher does innovative research that address many pressing problems we face today…how to make safe, non-hazardous batteries that are more energy dense than those currently on the market? How can we engineer viruses and bacteria to capture excess CO2 and convert it into building materials? Can we use self-assembly viruses that have been genetically engineered to provide a safe, cheap alternative for photovoltaic technology? We will hear from other inspiring women, in different careers who are taking on the challenges of science and technology today. The day will also include a panel discussion group.<br>
<br>Saturday 10:00am - 1:00pm<br>Networking for the future …<br>Visitors will have the opportunity to meet and network with women scientists, entrepreneurs, and corporate researchers, and hear about their varied work. Learn how YOU can get involved in exciting careers in science and technology!<br>
