Through Nov. 2: Free screening of "Picture a Scientist"

The lives of women scientists in academia are fraught with gender discrimination, and yet they persevere — making discoveries, educating emerging scientists and administering departments and research programs. The 91影库is proud to offer its members a free screening of the new feature-length documentary "Picture a Scientist." The film will be available for viewing by 91影库members from Oct. 26 to Nov. 2. You're invited to join film's director, Sharon Shattuck, and the 91影库Women in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Committee for a panel discussion on at 3 p.m. EST Nov. 2. See the list of panelists here. A link to the screening and to the panel discussion will be provided in your registration confirmation email.

Nov. 16, 18 & 20: Navigating career development and building resilience in times of unrest

From COVID-19 to the racial justice movement, 2020 has been a year of disruption and change for those in or entering the STEM workforce. Some Ph.D. life scientists may be considering new directions for their careers as a result of this disruption, while others may not know the myriad career paths open to those with advanced training in STEM. This free three-day virtual conference, to be held from noon to 4 p.m. on Nov. 16, 18 and 20, will provide direct access to scientists in various roles and job sectors who will share their career journeys and advice for those who wish to pursue similar careers. Each day will begin with a keynote covering overarching topics related to the STEM workforce or career development and will end with informal networking for participants to engage with each other. Register here.

Call for virtual scientific event proposals

The 91影库provides members with a virtual platform to share scientific research and accomplishments and to discuss emerging topics and technologies with the BMB community.

The 91影库will manage the technical aspects, market the event to tens of thousands of contacts and present the digital event live to a remote audience. Additional tools such as polling, Q&A, breakout rooms and post event Twitter chats may be used to facilitate maximum engagement.

Seminars are typically one to two hours long. A workshop or conference might be longer and even span several days.

Prospective organizers may submit proposals at any time. Decisions are usually made within four to six weeks.
