<span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk56418093"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In 1890, with the help of colleague Mary Hinman Abel, Ellen Swallow Richards founded the New England Kitchen of Boston. This was the
dawn of food science as we know it. To maximize nutrition and minimize cost, they conducted a series of studies and chemical analyses of foods. Although the New England Kitchen was a short-lived endeavor, it would lay the foundation for the first public
school lunch program and the highly successful Rumford Kitchen at the 1891-93 Chicago World's Fair.<br>
Please join us for a recipe inspired trip through Ellen Swallow Richards' life.<br>
Every year, the Association of MIT Alumnae (AMITA) comes together with current students to honor Ellen Swallow Richards birthday (December 3rd, 1842) and celebrate the holiday season. And this year is no different… except that you will be able to join us and
learn more about this amazing woman, ESR — from the comfort of your own home! Register to receive the Zoom link by email.<br>

skills to build the teams and the support needed to implement your ideas. Employers in both academia and industry consistently rank leadership as among their most sought-after skills, and this is even more true today due to the major challenges and changes
we are all facing. As we will discuss, anyone who is motivated to “step up” to these challenges can build leadership skills, but the it takes focus, feedback, and years of practice to become highly effective. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

this course explores the factors that 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></span></p>

slavery and its wakes, war, the environment, mourning, witnessing, memorializing, funeralizing and deathways, and more.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

Europe, Latin America, Middle-East, and North America, while turning to feminist scholarship in Critical Race Studies, Indigenous Studies, Postcolonialism, Queer and Trans Studies, Disability Studies, Environmental Studies, among others.

for all, The Social Scientist is an online platform for STEM mentorship. Our core program model aims to provide a global community of higher education students and professionals that are accessible and willing to dedicate their time for mentorship. We are
an interdisciplinary group of diverse mentors that engage with young students and advocate for those already immersed in the STEM fields.

<span style="mso-bookmark:_Hlk56418093"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:150%;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">We connect with mentees in an informal setting to encourage a relaxed and easy conversation. The Social Scientist mentors
can speak upon their education, career path and provide valuable insight on the nature of their work. From graduate students to industry directors, all of our mentors have diverse backgrounds and endured their own struggles and success with their career trajectory.
We currently have enlisted STEM volunteers from across the world in Academia, Engineering, Industry, Writing/Publishing, US Government, Technology, Mathematics and Alternative Careers. We follow up with every inquirer after their chat to ensure a high-quality
interaction with the mentors and establish an ongoing relationship between them and The Social Scientist. Additionally, our mentors have set up ongoing communication with their mentees to provide stable and long-term mentorship. Mentorship is critical at every
stage of one’s career and we aim to create opportunities in STEM that are not equally and widely available. Currently, 67% of our mentors are women in STEM. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

benefit will be to undergrads and graduate students. We will address key gaps in facilitating their career development with particular emphasis on professional development tricks and soft skills that they’re not getting in any systematic way. We hope to offer
mentorship, support and guidance while addressing key gaps in facilitating their career development. We hope to create a group culture that is uniquely focused on the person, has a high positive tone, emphasizes positive impact, and seeks to do this in a sustained
way and have personal friendships form as opposed to one-and-done activities. We hope that creating a culturally and academically diverse group at MIT will allow you to share similar experiences while benefitting from the resources and events of the greater
STEMxx Chats community. Below is the interest form for those wanting to join. We will host monthly meetings in addition to the broader STEMxx Chats events (eg. panels on career decisions, key speakers from top women in STEM, etc). We also have Twitter and
