| • AWIS Association
for Women in Science - open to all [women and men] supportive of the role
of women in science. More women are getting science Ph.D.s, but few are
still head large research labs, few are in positions that decide where
science funding money goes, who gets sciences awards, and who gets hired
where. |
• Dr.
Penny Beuning's excellent collection of women in science
and engineering sites |
