Just a quick note to highlight one of our newer groups on Nature Network.

Mums in Science was set up a couple of days ago by Dr Shara Cohen as a discussion place for…well, mums in science. They’re also the first group to tag themselves with the word ‘stress’. Read into that what you will.

If you find yourself juggling a career in the lab with the pressures of parenting, why not dip in and share your experiences.

Dr Cohen has kindly arranged a discount for Nature Network readers at the Surviving as a Woman in Science conference (hosted by EuroSciCon). Use the special access code here to register for just £50 (a saving of over £400 on the standard cost).
