How great would it be to hear Frances Allen speak in person? She is the winner of the 2006 Turing Award -- the first woman ever to win the award! Or how about Jeannette Wing, the Assistant Director of the Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate, National Science Foundation? This conference is a mere 3 hours away from Columbus, and costs only $25 to register. For that really low registration fee, you get all of the sessions, plus meals, plus a shared room. The conference starts on Friday night, so you won't even miss too much of your classes. Ohio State University women -- let me know if you're interested. We'll try to put together a convoy and make a roadtrip of it. :-) Bettina *************************** Registration Now Open!

I am also the Membership Chair for the Association of Women in Science (AWIS) Central Ohio Chapter, and I wanted to tell you all a bit about this organization, as we are currently recruiting new members in all areas of the sciences (from students to senior faculty, and from academia to industry). AWIS is a non-profit organization committed to bringing together women in all scientific disciplines (engineering to life sciences). However, the organization is not strictly for women, as they provide tools to network, learn about alternative careers, volunteer with young scientists, get funding, and get involved with shaping national policy, just to name a few. I recently attended their bi-annual conference, where I had the opportunity to meet personally with national board members and learned how I could get involved. I'm not trying to sell the organization to you, I just want to let you know that I have found it extremely beneficial to be a member -- particularly in helping me personally address the life/work balance of being a woman in science, and providing countless resources (both through people and materials) as I make my way through graduate school. And hey, it's also a line on your CV. If you have a moment, head over to http://www.awis.org/about/indivbenefits.html and see what AWIS has to offer. It's inexpensive to become a member ($20 for students and $30 for non-students) and you can do it all online, just specify Central Ohio as your chapter. I would strongly encourage you to become a member. If it's not for you, I understand, but please pass the email along to anyone who you think might find our organization beneficial. And of course, please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions, decide to join, or want more information! Thanks, Amanda ....................................
