Balancing work and life activities can be challenging, especially for professional women who are involved in competitive science careers. Taking time to remember what first inspired you to pursue a career in science can be both energizing and rewarding.
The pleasures of puzzle solving and discovery that
originally drew you into science can now be a precious
source of renewal – an absorbing world within
the wider world of responsibilities you now face. Reconnecting
with our dreams and with the stories of those who inspired
us can give us the perspective and vision to face our
daily trials – and the chance to reconnect with
our desire to transform our lives and the lives of others.
This section offers short profiles of women who were
pioneers in science, and advice from women currently
working to balance their commitment to science with
their devotion to the rest of their lives. The challenges
faced by those pioneers, and the experiences of contemporary
women, can provide an immediate source of reassurance,
energy, and inspiration.
