View Article  I used to be important - Diary of a stay at home mother
I wrote this after meeting a friend, who was depressed about giving up her job, because she had no positive feed back during the day from her newborn. Three years later I now have two daughters (neither are at school yet) and run a very successful company which has twelve employees, mostly mums working from home (many of them mums from mainstream science). I work around the kids, its not easy at all, but it’s a lifestyle that I have chosen. It can be done!   more »

View Article  Your State of Mind can alter your Health
I remember when I used to travel to school I would practice my smile, trying to get it just right so that I didn’t look false or silly. My parents told me that people would like you if you smile as it makes them feel good. But it made me feel good too, and enabled me to have a positive outlook through my school years. What I didn’t realise was that I was empowering my immune system.   more »

Welcome to Mums in Science

This site has been designed as a portal for busy mums who work or have worked in science.

Too many women leave science due to the constraints of motherhood. Some struggle, and work part time, at the expense of advancing their career. Others change their career to fit in with their children, whilst working within some area of science.

Our aims are :-

  • to create a community to provide mutual support,
  • to provide information to those who have the challenge of bringing up children and maintaining a career in science, whether full or part time, or outside mainstream science.

This site is updated regularly with new articles and occasional special offers. Everything is accessible on the site. However, if you would like to receive notices of new additions to the site you can subscribe to the site and receive e-mails as soon as a new article is posted to your selected categories or to all the site.

We welcome comments about MumsinScience, what you like, what you don't like, or how we can improve.

PLEASE LET US KNOW, just email comments@mumsinscience.net
