WICB and others On line

[S L Forsburg]

Answering my own question..... I have discovered that the ASCB 
(American Society for Cell Biology) newsletters are on line at 
http://www.faseb.org/ascb/news/news.htm

There is a regular column from the Women in Cell Biology (WICB)
 committee on a variety of topics of interest to women 
on this list. One particularly relevant to our discussions
  on why women leave  academia between grad school 
and professoriate is at
http://www.ascb.org/ascb/news/vol20no8/wicb.html
and a column on gender bias in teaching evaluations,
which came up in another thread can be found at
http://www.ascb.org/ascb/news/vol20no6/women.html

The WICB section editor, Laura Williams, does a terrific
job with this monthly column, and the discussions
are relevant to all women in science, not just cell biologists.
It is well-referenced as well, if you are inspired to read
further.

Another on-line resource is a recent book on mentoring
published by the NAS/NAE committee on education (COSEPUP).
Hard copies are arriving in PI mailboxes, I've noticed, but
the book is also on the web and of interest to anyone
seeking a mentor, or mentoring, or doing both.  It is at
