</b>For the last 6 years I’ve been working as a Product Manager leading the development and implementation of digital products at different scales. My other passion is education, that I’ve discovered through my work in social entrepreneurship. I want to use
my corporate experience with my volunteer advocacy and my new learnings at MIT to help develop, enhance or scale products that impact the life of one or millions of users in a positive way.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p style="line-height:150%"><b>Who is your favorite womxn from history or the present times, and why?
</b>My mom. She came from a really difficult family background with lots of limitations but through education and a lot of mental strength she was able to achieve her goals and at the same built a safe and loving home for me and my family.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p style="line-height:150%"><b>What do you like about being a gwaMIT Rep? </b>I love gwaMIT’s purpose and being able to transmit it to our program it’s an amazing experience. In addition, I really like that we have the opportunity to use other skills not so
related to our work field. For example, I was able to help with the branding for the last Empowerment conference. I'm not a designer, but I love design and gwamit’s Marketing gave the chance to put some new skills in practice.<b><o:p></o:p></b></p>

</b>I study complex systems using both the mathematical-modeling perspective of building, simulating and validating models, and the machine-learning perspective of directly learning the underlying models from experimental data. In particular, I’ve looked into
complex biophysical/physical systems such as bacterial colonies, sperm suspension and active Brownian particles.

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-add-space:auto;line-height:150%"><span style="color:black">Hi, my name is Erica and I’m co-directing the Wintersession Research Bootcamp program at
<span class="gmail-il">Wellesley</span> College this January (which will be held remotely on Zoom). We are looking to recruit graduate students from Boston area schools to serve as mentors.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-add-space:auto;line-height:150%"><b><span style="color:black">The program:</span></b><span style="color:black"> Briefly, this program is aimed towards first year undergraduate students, many of whom are members
of underserved communities and have not had access to good lab-based science classes in high school. As this year’s session will be held online, we have developed a computational genomics program. Each mentor will be paired with 2-3 students, and at the end
of the program, students will present their work to Wellesley faculty and other students. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-add-space:auto;line-height:150%"><b><span style="color:black">Responsibilities:
</span></b><span style="color:black">This year’s bootcamp is scheduled tentatively for January 21-28. There’s also a welcome gathering in late December and two training sessions in early January, all which will take place via Zoom. During the week of the bootcamp,
we ask mentors to be available for the majority of each weekday from about 10-5 EST. You will attend synchronous sessions over Zoom (tentatively planned for early afternoon), and engage with your two or three mentees intermittently throughout the day using
the platform of your choice (Slack, Zoom, Google Meet, etc) to help students with the experiments. Throughout the week you’ll also be asked to give a short chalk talk on your research, a lecture about a scientific topic, an informal talk about your path to
science, and (optionally) record a short video of yourself in your research lab as a way to let students “tour” research labs remotely. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;mso-add-space:auto;line-height:150%"><b><span style="color:black">Mentors:</span></b><span style="color:black"> Since a lot of our students are from underserved backgrounds, we’re really hoping to recruit graduate
student mentors who have had similar paths to science. A lot of the students are first gen, minorities, and many of them identify as women, so we would love to recruit mentors with these aspects in common. If you don’t fall into any of these groups but are
passionate about mentoring, please do apply as well. Additionally, as our topic is computational genomics-based, we would love to recruit mentors whose research is in this area (but not a requirement!). </span><o:p></o:p></p>

impede women from successful participation in academia. We focus on the academic workplace and explore organizational factors that create gender inequities in academic careers as well as factors deeply rooted in culture and gender socialization. Furthermore,
we discuss programs that promote the advancement of women in academia. A special focus is on science where the underrepresentation of women is most pronounced, and we examine how the situation is different and how it is similar for women in science and women
in other academic fields. This seminar is of particular interest for anyone who aims to pursue an academic career and wants to learn about theories of the underrepresentation of women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) and
in academic leadership positions more broadly. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
