For those of you going to the ASCB meeting in San Francisco, in addition to
the Women in Cell Biology (WICB)/Education Committee luncheon on "What to
do with your graduate degree," which required preregistration, please note
that the presentation of the WICB Junior and Senior awards to Susan
Forsburg and Sarah Elgin will take place on Monday, December 9 from 6:30pm
to 7:30pm. It will be followed by a discussion on "Are There REALLY Any
Obstacles Left for Women in Science?" This dialog, between Virginia
Walbbot and Virginia Zakian will be moderated by Joe Gall, and followed by
a discussion among the attendees. All are welcome. Hope to see you
there.

Hi All,
I was just browsing through my most recent issue of the American Society
for Cell Biology Newsletter and realized that the ASCB profiled Susan
Forsburg this month, who is a frequent contributor to this list. The
article also indicated that she has won the ASCB Junior Career Recognition
Award this year. Way to go Susan.
I have always been impressed with the quality and plain good sense of her
comments on the list and the understanding she shows towards nervous young
scientists and the potentially unemployed. I was also intrigued to learn
about her love of theatre as I minored in theatre myself and continue to
design and make costumes for our campus productions (I thought I was the
only crazy one!)
By the way, is anyone else going to the ASCB meetings? I will be at the
WICB luncheon, anyone else gonna be there?
