SUMMARY:NIH: Becoming a Resilient Scientist Series – Building Mentor Networks
DESCRIPTION:Speaker(s): Sharon Milgram\, PhD\, Director\, OITE\nThis event is recommended for: Postbacs; Graduate Students; Postdocs/Fellows; NIH Staff Scientist/Staff Clinician. \nRegister here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3222926275919384846 \nWe all need mentors to support and encourage us throughout our educational and career journey. In this webinar\, we will the mentoring relationship in research environments with a focus on improving your relationship with your PI\, finding mentors and on improving communication and interpersonal interactions. The webinar will help clarify what you need from your supervisors and mentors and address how to get what you need from these important interactions. \n  \n********************************************** \nBECOMING A RESILIENT SCIENTIST SERIES\nNavigating school\, the career exploration process\, research environments\, and the stress of national/international news can seem overwhelming and lead us to doubt ourselves just when we need confidence the most. Through workshops and group discussions in this series (discussion groups will be held in the week following the lecture\, more info will be provided via email)\, we will work to identify attitudes and behaviors that can help us be more resilient as we navigate difficult situations in school\, work and life. Each workshop will highlight emotional intelligence competencies needed for success in research and healthcare careers and will provide strategies for developing these competencies as part of your educational journey. While you may participate in any of the webinars\, it is best to participate in the entire series as the material relates and concepts will be developed throughout the series. The workshops and group discussions in the series are: \nSession 1 – Sept: I. An Introduction to Resilience and Wellness  \nSession 2 – Oct: II. Exploring our Self-Talk: Cognitive Distortions and Imposter Fears \nSession 3 – Nov: III. Emotions and Emotional Intelligence in the Workplace \nSession 4 – Dec: IV. Self-Advocacy and Assertiveness for Scientists \nSession 5 – Jan: V. Developing Feedback Resilience \nSession 6 – Feb: VI.

SUMMARY:“Equity in Science” Book Talk with Author & Prof. Julie Posselt
DESCRIPTION:The Graduate School Offices of Inclusion & Student Engagement and Future Faculty and Academic Careers invite you to join us on Wednesday\, February 17 for a discussion with Julie R. Posselt\, Associate Professor of Higher Education at the University of Southern California\, on her recent book\, Equity in Science: Representation\, Culture and the Dynamics of Change in Graduate Education. \nAbout “Equity in Science: Representation\, Culture\, and the Dynamics of Change in Graduate Education”\n“STEM disciplines are believed to be founded on the idea of meritocracy; recognition earned by the value of the data\, which is objective. Such disciplinary cultures resist concerns about implicit or structural biases\, and yet\, year after year\, scientists observe persistent gender and racial inequalities in their labs\, departments\, and programs. In Equity in Science\, Julie Posselt makes the case that understanding how field-specific cultures develop is a crucial step for bringing about real change. She does this by examining existing equity\, diversity\, and inclusion efforts across astronomy\, physics\, chemistry\, geology\, and psychology. These ethnographic case studies reveal the subtle ways that exclusion and power operate in scientific organizations and\, sometimes\, within change efforts themselves. Posselt argues that accelerating the movement for inclusion in science requires more effective collaboration across boundaries that typically separate people and scholars—across the social and natural sciences\, across the faculty-student-administrator roles\, and across race\, gender\, and other social identities. Ultimately this book is a call for academia to place equal value on expertise\, and on those who do the work of cultural translation. Posselt closes with targeted recommendations for individuals\, departments\, and disciplinary societies for creating systemic\, sustainable change.” \nUnlimited copies of the e-book of “Equity in Science” is now available through the Cornell Library system at http://proxy.library.cornell.edu/login?url=http://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/cornell/detail.action?docID=6221309.  A special thank you goes out to Graduate Field Assistant and CALS Diversity & Inclusion Committee member\, Casey Moore who took the initiative to explore opportunities to make this e-book accessible for free for our broader community! \nAbout the Author\nJulie Posselt is an associate professor of higher education in the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education and author of Equity in Science: Representation\, Culture and the Dynamics of Change in Graduate Education and Inside Graduate Admissions: Merit\, Diversity\, and Faculty Gatekeeping. Rooted in sociological and organizational theory\, Posselt’s research program examines institutionalized inequalities in higher education and organizational efforts aimed at reducing inequities and encouraging diversity. She focuses on selective sectors of higher education— graduate education\, STEM fields\, and elite undergraduate institutions—where longstanding practices and cultural norms are being negotiated to better identify talent and educate students in a changing society. Posselt’s current scholarship\, funded by five grants from the National Science Foundation and one from the Mellon Foundation\, examines movements for equity and inclusion in graduate education and the humanistic and physical science disciplines. Explore the resources available from Posselt’s projects on the Equity in Graduate Education website: bit.ly/GradEdEquity. \nSponsorship\nThis event is supported by the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1647094 (AGEP CIRTL).

Participants are encouraged to submit questions upon registration. \nPanelists\n\nDr. Meredith Hastings\, Associate Professor of Environment & Society\, Brown University. Women’s Network President\, PI for AdvanceGeo. Earth Science Women’s Network and AdvanceGeo.\nDr. Christopher J Schell\, Assistant Professor of Urban Ecology\, University of Washington Tacoma. Author of Recreating Wakanda by promoting Black excellence in ecology and evolution.\nDr. Hendratta Ali\, Associate Professor of Geosciences\, Fort Hays State University. Author of Ten Steps to protect BIPOC scholars in the field.\nSara Souza\, Field Safety Specialist\, University of California. Field Research Safety Center of Excellence.\n\nModerators\nAmelia-Juliette Demery: PhD Candidate in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University. Amelia-Juliette is a 3rd year PhD candidate and Sloan Foundation Scholar. She is interested in the genomic mechanisms underlying avian phenotypes and their evolutionary patterns across space and time. \nMonique Pipkin: PhD Student in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Cornell University. Monique is a 2nd year PhD student and Sloan Foundation Fellow. Her research focuses on the ultimate and proximate mechanism behind social behavior and social signaling\, and the use of art in science education and outreach. \nEvent Sponsors\nThis event is co-sponsored by Cornell University’s College of Agriculture and Life Sciences Office of Diversity and Inclusion and the Graduate School Office of Inclusion & Student Engagement. This event is supported through funds from the National Science Foundation under Grant No.1647094 (AGEP CIRTL). Any opinions\, findings\, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this material are those of the authors/organizers and do not necessarily reflect the views of the National Science Foundation. \nCornell University is committed to providing universal access to all of our events.
