In any career transition, it’s important to keep in mind the work-life balance that you will (or won’t) have with your potential employer. In addition to your home life, work-life balance is associated with stress levels and the quality of the relationship that you have with your boss. While some work-life factors are self-determined and can be changed during the quest for it, many are directly influenced by workplace culture and policies.

An NPA Gender Summit session titled ‘Skills, Strategies, and Lessons on Postdoc Career Advancement’ was led by HERC Training and Development Director, Jessica Wise, and featured three speakers. The goals of the session, were for each attendee to think strategically about their spheres of influence and plan what their careers are going to look like, at the individual, community, and institutional levels.

A massive project analyzing the peer-review outcomes of 350,000 manuscripts from 145 journals found no evidence of gender bias following manuscript submission. I published a similar, though smaller-scale, study that analyzed the peer-review outcomes from 108,000 manuscript submissions to 13 ASM journals. Both projects analyzed six years’ worth of submission data but came to different conclusions.
