Have a wonderful week 8! <3 The UWiP Team Deadline: March 1st, 2021 Are you interested in materials science research? Our research program is open to undergraduate students majoring in science and engineering at any 2- or 4-year institution who are citizens or permanent residents of the US or US territories. Students with a diversity of backgrounds and experiences are encouraged to apply. We focus on: - PREDICTIVE ASSEMBLY Using computational models to predict and guide the self-assembly of materials from the nano- to meso- scale. - ENGINEERED LIVING MATERIALS Utilizing genetic engineering and synthetic biology to create soft materials that contain living components For more info and to apply, click here. We’re excited to announce the release of the third episode of The Science of Mentorship, a new podcast from the Board on Higher Education and Workforce of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM).
Academia can be a toxic environment, especially for women and other marginalized students. Dr. Akiko Iwasaki experienced this reality both in her studies and after she earned her Ph.D. However, research shows that women and marginalized students can better integrate into academic communities when they have positive mentoring experiences, and often, multiple mentoring relationships. In this episode, Dr. Akiko Iwasaki tells the story of her journey through STEMM academia and beyond as a woman from Japan. There were times she was discouraged from continuing her studies, but supportive mentors guided her through difficult situations with both emotional and technical support. Dr. Iwasaki shares about these experiences and how they shaped her approach to mentoring her own students in innovative ways. Dr. Akiko Iwasaki is a professor and researcher in immunology at the Yale School of Medicine. She has contributed significant research to the field of innate immunity against multiple viruses and cancer. She has won numerous awards and in 2018, was elected into the National Academy of Sciences. In 2019, Dr. Iwasaki was elected into the National Academy of Medicine.

Last year, Beyond the Professoriate conducted a survey of 3500 PhDs. We learned that the vast majority of PhDs fear that a non-academic job will be less rewarding and intellectually stimulating than being a professor. We know from our research that PhDs are able to forge meaningful and impactful careers in all industries and sectors. Join L. Maren Wood, PhD in this webinar and learn how you can find a non-academic career where you will thrive, engage in meaningful work, and be connected to people and projects that matter to you. After attending this webinar, you will be able to:
