What a wonderful (virtual) world

The UKRC went virtual in October when it launched its photo exhibition of the six women named '2009 Women of Outstanding Achievement in SET' at the island in Second Life run by Nature Magazine and MacMillan Publishing. The event also marked the opening for nominations for the 2010 UKRC Women of Outstanding Achievement Award (WoOA).

The event was packed out, with more than sixty avatars in attendance. Two 'WoOA' women spoke: Wendy Sadler, who runs Science Made Simple and has championed innovative forms of science communication, and Carolin Crawford, who works for the Institute of Astronomy and promotes astronomy to people of all ages.

The 2009 Women of Outstanding Achievement in SET Photographic Exhibition is on display in Second Life until 31 December 2009. To view it, sign up to Second Life and visit:

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
