View Article  Melting the Snowballs in Your Mind
As a society, we seem to be "easily bothered." Many of us are "chronically bothered" by things that are simply counter-productive for us to be focusing on. Asking yourself "what is it costing me?" is a powerful question because it gives you the wisdom to understand, on a deep level, that "it’s just not worth it."   more »

View Article  Sudden Wake-Up Calls
A sudden wake-up call is any event that immediately causes an epiphany in your life. It could be an accident, a close call, a health scare, or anything that shakes you out of your comfort zone and reminds you that life is fragile and temporary. The perspective shift that a sudden wake-up call provides sharpens the focus on the lens through which we view life. For example, you may believe that you have a lot of problems, and things aren’t going they way you would like. Then, all of a sudden, something can happen to you that makes you say, "I wish I didn’t waste so much of my energy on those problems for all of that time, because now I see, in the grand scheme of things, they’re really not that important." In fact, after a wake-up call, you may long for a return back to the way things used to be! Most of the time, a sudden wake-up call will cause you to re-evaluate your life, what is truly important, what is trivial, and what you’ve been overlooking and taking for granted.   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
