> I am a second year PhD student in the department of chemistry. Recently, I have been involved in an organization called STEMxx chat, which I am trying to start a chapter at MIT. Below is a short description of what the organization is about. 
>  
> STEMxx Chats is helping trainees, especially women in STEM, succeed in their career paths and in life. At MIT, our predominant 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 Instagram (@stemxx_chats) for those who want to learn about the latest events.

> Feel free to reach out to the organizers (Shirley Chen, schenxy at mit.edu <mailto:schenxy at mit.edu> and Mariana Avila, avilam at mit.edu <mailto:avilam at mit.edu>) if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you in the fall.
