Work in progress on a web resource for Moms in STEM
Hello everyone! This site is in the process of becoming a web resource for parents, especially moms, working in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. As the mother of an infant, I’ll begin with issues related to travel during the baby year, but I hope to expand to include issues related to older children as time allows. Some of the topics that will be added over the next few weeks:
– NSF and NIH policies on support during maternity leave
– NSF and NIH policies on support for reentry
– Resources for childcare during conferences and travel for caregivers
– Reviews of conferences and conference venues and their family-friendliness
– Reader suggestions for childcare near conference sites
– Resources for conference organizers to improve accessibility for moms
Stay tuned!
