Today’s
suggestion comes from CSWA alum, Caroline Simpson. Caroline is an associate
professor at Florida International University. She works on star formation and
evolution in dwarf galaxies. She also edited CSWA's weekly e-newsletter,
AASWomen, from 2006-2013.
Spread the word in casual conversation, in
class, wherever it seems appropriate, about resources online for women in
science. Have links on your own webpage to them. Good examples would be the CSWA Advice page and the CSWA Resources page . Post
your favorites in the comments section so the rest of us can share them.
Make
sure your department webpage and/or Facebook page occasionally donates some
time and space to women-related issues, items, resources, and news
announcements. This doesn’t need to be limited to items directly related to
your department; include national and international items that indicate that
your department is conscious of the challenges facing underrepresented
minorities. If you have policies or benefits that are of particular interest to
women or dual-career couples, highlight that.
