AWiSE awarded Biochem Soc grant – sponsored places for WiSE-UP

Like the idea of the WiSE UP: Strategies for Success in STEM career day on 22nd June but not sure you can afford it?

There is good news if your science background is in biochemistry (in the widest possible sense).  Cambridge AWiSE has been awarded one of three Biochemical Society Gender Equality in Science Grants 2012 allowing us to offer three fully sponsored places to attend the event.

Fancy applying?  See here for all the details – deadline 28th May.

Excitement, excitement – Keep the date free!

CamAWiSE are holding the second Career-Development Day on Friday 22nd June 2012:
WISE-UP : Strategies for Success in STEM or 101 ways to make the most of yourself!
Continuing the successful framework on which the 1st Day was organised in 2010, we are basing the day around the themes of ‘making the most of your personality’ and ‘getting your ideas across and acted upon – making your voice heard’.

So here is our new website!

If you are a CamAWISE regular you should have (hopefully) noticed a big change in our website. You’ll see our twitter feed on the left hand side and some links to interesting blogs and websites on the right hand side. And if you click on one of the category links you’ll see some articles we’ve written. In the events registration page and the membership and renewals page we’ve added forms (courtesy of Google Docs)

Why?

Why change the website? We have moved to a wordpress-hosted site in the hope that it will be easier for our administrator and steering group members to add content a bit more often. This is important for us: our steering group members are all volunteers with full time jobs and our administrator is really very very part time so we need to make the web editing as easy as possible. Also, it is easier to make the website more interactive with the ability to comment on articles, carry out short surveys and vote on opinion polls.

Get involved!

If you would like to get involved with writing for us please email info@camawise.org.uk (it might take a little while to get back to you until we appoint our new administrator but we will!)
