A Unique meeting, organized by Prof. Oren Schuldiner, Weizmann Institute of Science

One of the biggest hurdles in the career of many excellent women scientists is the difficulty in uprooting their family for the long postdoc abroad. Although the experience is usually a challenging one, it also entails many opportunities for the PhD student, for the partner and for the family as a whole. With the thought of demystifying the postdoc experience for both the scientist and her partner, we invite you to a round table discussion on the topic in which women scientists who has recently returned from abroad, as well as their partners, will discuss their experience over a glass of wine and cheese. One unique aspect of this meeting is to allow for partners to hear directly from the partners on their perspective of the postdoc abroad.

Informal round table discussion on the postdoc experience abroad, which will include women PIs and their spouses who have recently returned from their postdoc abroad, as well as prospective postdoc students and their spouses.
