Parle-moi de Perinbaba. Comment est-elle? Bozat, what does she look like? Bozat, comment est-elle? So, what does she look like? What does she look like? I don't know. What does she look like , your girl? Okay, what does she look like? Then tell me: what does she look like? Alors dis-moi comment est-elle? But what does she look like? Mais comment est faite ma fille benjamine? But this girl tonight, what does she look like? Scientists set up summer labs up there, doing science, training graduate students in courses, all while bringing along their families—children, pets, au pairs, grandparents.
Whatever it took to make this work was provided. MBL organized child care, camps for children, and activities for non-scientific spouses. I have been lucky in having this kind of support at my own institution but also forthright in asking for it outside of Rockefeller, where things are considerably less supportive. So conferences are scheduled at any time during the school year and on weekends, and child care is not the business of the institution or the conference organizers. If women wish to be scientists, well, then they should be single and childless.
Or perhaps they should be heiresses, who can pay for a coterie of au pairs to follow them in private rented accommodations near the conference site. Such archaic attitudes and the system they create go a long way toward explaining the chronic underrepresentation of women in biomedical science that persists despite several decades of gender parity in PhD degrees granted.
My institution, The Rockefeller University, guarantees child care for all of its tenure-track faculty. Once you are expecting, you notify human resources, and as soon as the baby is three months old, the child is minded 8am-6pm Monday to Friday.
This is exceedingly rare in academia—many colleagues tell me of long waiting lists at their local university day care center and having to juggle to arrange child care. If institutions want to recruit and retain the best and brightest young faculty, they must do more to provide child care commensurate with community needs.
The events of last handful of years have certainly been a bit of a blur, as my my partner and I both pursued tenure, and our two children now 1. If I had the opportunity to do it all again, I would tweak some of the details, but definitely not the substance! It can, of course, get very intense.
I think that one of the most underappreciated things about being an academic is the flexibility. Grand things have to happen, but there are very little constraints on exactly when or exactly how. I have found it useful to try and think out-of-the-box, and I have exploited flexibility in different ways at different times — such as working at home for extended stretches when my kids were infants thank you Skype! I also find that I can be more effective in 15 well rested minutes that in 4 sleep deprived hours and as such, I try to be very thoughtful about minimizing the things I commit to.
While it often feels selfish to say no, if the cost of a yes is a bit more misery across the board, no is often a better answer. And I like so many other women on this page cannot over-emphasize how valuable it is to have a partner who is supportive of both my family and my career, as well as an amazing nanny!
I had 1 daughter as a postdoc, and the 2nd as an assistant professor. I found that having the 2 kids across 2 career stages worked well, in that there was not too much strain on any 1 stage. When I think about career and family, here is my advice:. Charles B. When I was a senior at Hunter College high school in New York, I had to get an internship and got a job in a lab studying the neurobiology of feeding.
Once I started working in neuroscience, I became a lot more focused and I was subsumed into life in a lab. My proudest early moment as a scientist was probably when I was an undergraduate, cloning a gene for the first time and waiting by the Xomat for the autoradiogram to come out, when I saw read the sequence I knew encoded the amino acids of the protein we were trying to clone.
That was incredibly cool. My college lab mentors often bragged about the fact that they never took vacations and frequently threatened to throw people out of their labs for not working hard enough.
I thought it was a badge of honor to be in the lab every weekend and to stay as late as possible doing experiments in the lab. I learned that I could be serious about science and still spend time doing other things that I enjoyed.
This made it possible for me to make space for my partner when I came back to start a faculty position, and even more so, it let me be productive while only being in the lab during day care hours when our daughter was born.
My daughter started daycare at the university a block from my lab when she was 3 months old. This allowed me to walk over to feed her and allowed me to maximize the time in the lab and with her, without having a commute between the two. By the time she started school, with an after school program until 6PM and a before care program for early meetings, we had the drop off and pick up rhythm down. As a two-neuroscientist couple, we took several trips to meetings together as a family when our daughter was young, because both parents attended several of the same meetings.
Splitting the childcare between partners and with other scientist couples who travel with their kids sometimes made long meetings more tolerable. The time that I was traveling was also great father-daughter time.
My daughter found her passion for rock climbing because of a father-daughter adventure when I was away giving a talk.
The more of us who are both obvious parents and effective scientists, the more we will be able to convince our students and postdocs of both genders that they can stay in science and create a satisfying family life.
I have always known exactly what I wanted. Four kids and twenty five years later he is still my best friend. My children are well dispersed through all stages of my career. I had a graduate school baby, a postdoc baby, an assistant professor baby, and an associate professor baby. They span 14 years. I breastfed them a cumulative total of 8. A number of circumstances contributed to helping me sustain my career. First, in my twenties I had boundless enthusiasm and endless mental energy. Second, my husband has carried at least half the load, at least on average over time.
Third, the kids were spaced out so that we never had more than one in diapers and the older kids helped with the younger ones. Fourth, my mother had polio as a toddler and raised 5 kids from a wheelchair. Fifth, I had access to high-quality daycare, which I used starting as early as each center allowed. Finally, I had amazing mentors who believed in me as a scientist and as a person. My advice to junior scientists — whether male or female and whatever their family situation: Take care of your physical and mental health.
Eat well. Exercise regularly. Seek help when you need it and accept help when it is offered. Surround yourself with people who care about you and will tell you the truth. Appreciate your luck when you have success. Take care of the people coming up through the system behind you.
I think I always knew I wanted to do something related to science — I remember learning about circuits specifically variable resistors and audio volume control from my dad drawing circuit diagrams in the sand. The greatest joy comes from sharing the wonders of both with other people. I have been proud to co-raise my daughters with wonderful partners and an absolutely astonishing nanny. Career spacing of my girls turned out to be a big help — my first daughter, Lindsay, is 6.
The spacing allowed me to enjoy them each as individuals, and for them to have each other as mutual caretakers and free of any competition between them. Because you can do it, too. Post script: My daughters are 29 and 23 now , both in training in clinical aspects of neuroscience psychiatry and clinical psychology. Go figure! My group works on computational principles of how the brain processes information.
I am especially interested in the statistics of natural signals and how they might influence the organization and function of the nervous system. Since childhood, I always wanted to be a scientist but used to worry that this might not be possible to continue once I got married. My grandfather a scientist himself would encourage me at a time with words that maybe your husband would be willing help you out, a possibility that I viewed as rather remote.
But what do you know, my husband does help me quite a bit. A friend and colleague once said that marriage and children are exercises in negotiation. I would add that having children is an exercise in negotiation with oneself. I cannot spend all the time I want at work and I cannot spend all the time I want with my daughter. However I actually enjoy finding solutions to the ongoing challenges. Maintaining the ability to nurse during travel was one of them.
Found a place? Now repeat this every two-three hours, including nighttime, and do not forget to refrigerate the milk.
Cheers, and good luck! I was raised by two working parents, so to be honest it never occurred to me that I should cho ose between a career and a family. Choosing between things has never been my strong suit, which is probably how I ended up in an M.
Sometimes my slow decision making process has been useful and other times a hindrance to my career. Parenthood has helped me to spend less time considering every possible outcome or option.
Thoughts I have for academic women that might be helpful in managing the years with young children. The nanny we hired when my daughter was a young infant was no longer right for her when she was an active toddler. The first daycare was great for an active toddler but not so great for a curious preschooler. In the long run, the Montessori pre-school program was unquestionably worth the difficult transition from day care.
We have been able to cultivate a pool of extra help from undergraduate students, retired technicians, teen-age children of colleagues and post-doc spouses. Activating this pool makes the times I travel so much easier on our family and enables us to handle school holidays and closures without having to dicker over who will do what when the usual childcare routine is disrupted.
It also helps the child develop social skills and confidence that they can interact with many different types of people when they are exposed to a variety of caring adults. I was already associate professor when I had my daughter.
The only things I remembered was the last time they presented their research or the buzz around a high impact publication. When time is tight, its so easy to just do everything for kids rather then teach them or wait for them to do it slowly. I heard the suggestion about storing plates and cups in low cabinets and drawers from an older woman scientist several years ago and immediately implemented it for my step-daughters. At age 5, my daughter already helps empty the dishwasher, gets her own cups of water and helps get everything ready for breakfast.
Its a big source of pride for her to be able to help out and do things for herself Montessori helps with this too. It will be worth every penny. I had no idea what I wanted to do when I grew up — though I never imagined it would be a scientist.
That year, the regular physics teacher was on sabbatical so my high school hired someone who had just dropped out of a Ph. Chevrie, wherever you are, thank-you! That class opened my eyes to the joy of experimental science. I went on to major in Physics in college and stayed in the field to get my Ph.
D in condensed matter physics and nonlinear optics. As a postdoctoral researcher, I made a big transition to work in neurobiology. Luckily, a small group of intense scientists — many trained physicists — doing neuroscience research at Bell Laboratories — took me in. That, plus a summer at Woods Hole — and I was hooked. I am part of two-neuroscientists family. I met my husband at Woods Hole. We have both been able to get independent positions throughout our careers — in fact we have felt it has been to our advantage rather than disadvantage.
We have one son — who is now On some days, I wish we had had more kids and on others, I am thrilled we can devote so much time and energy to him. How to make it work? I would love to provide a formula for success. However, the answer to that question is different for every individual.
I think this is the most important message that I would want to get across. When it comes to managing family and career, everyone is different. And even a given person will change — it might feel better to spend more time at work some weeks and less others.
My story is not so rosy — up until the moment I received tenure, I felt like my career was going to sputter away. In retrospect, I wonder how much of this poor self-image came from a lack of role models. Now, I am surrounded by successful women scientists and I feel much more comfortable.
Importantly, I never took myself out of the game — I figured I would just keep working until someone actually fired me. Luckily, no one ever did. I also think we all have to admit that it also depends on a bit of luck. My advice.
Professionally, pick good mentors who will continue to support you throughout your career. Personally, pick a good partner who respects you and your career and shares your values in terms of balancing career and family. No matter what, be gentle with yourself. As women, we are often our own harshest critics. Celebrate when you have successes and move on when there are failures.
Are you ready for it? Spend your first day of this simulation working and teaching etc. Go to bed, set your alarm to go off at 2 am, 3.
Each time you are awakened, draw a random number between 10 and 60, and walk around or sit down and pet a little rag doll for that amount of time optional: play a recording of a baby yelling at the top of her lungs while you do this. Eek, this is awkward. Community puts me in a blessed position — whenever anyone in my home or my work life asks me if I know of a certain type of product maker or service provider, As a naturally introverted person albeit one with an extroverted job , entering a room of strangers is completely out of my comfort zone.
Everyone was really friendly though and I quickly felt comfortable and Boundaries and completion are my words of the year and they came to me after Christmas whilst I was reflecting on and thinking about my year Jo has been an amazing inspiration and great help pushing my business forwards!!
I met inspiring, interesting women who talked passionately about their businesses. Email Address. Full Name. Phone Number. Facebook Instagram.
