CEF
The Chemical Educational Foundation®, a nationally recognized nonprofit organization dedicated to enhancing grade K-8 students' appreciation of the science and value of chemistry, is currently looking for science educators and professionals who are interested in volunteering as part of their Content Development Team. CDT reviews the scientific content for our You Be The Chemist Challenge® program. The Challenge is an academic competition for students in grades 5-8 that tests their knowledge of chemistry against the backdrop of a fun, quiz-bowl style competition. The CDT collaborates with CEF staff via email, which allows CDT members to shape their involvement to fit their own time constraints.
Last year the challenge reached over 50,000 students across 37 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. By collaborating with CEF as part of the Content Development Team, you can have a significant, far-reaching impact on students at a time that is crucial to developing an interest in the sciences and in STEM careers.
If interested, contact Katie Wetstone at kwetstone@chemed.org.

Women earned about a third of all engineering degrees at the University of Virginia in 2015, making the state flagship first on that measure among prominent public schools nationwide.
But reaching gender parity in engineering could take many years for U-Va. and other public universities.
Federal data show women earned a majority of bachelor's degrees in engineering in 2015 at two private schools with sizable programs. At Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering, their share was 53 percent, and at Massachusetts Institute of Technology it was 51 percent.

Last year, the wildly popular potty-mouthed card game Cards Against Humanity channeled the profits from its $10 Science Pack into a full-ride college scholarship for women studying science, technology, engineering or math. With Science Pack sales still going strong, and gender equality in STEM fields still sorely lacking, Cards is ready to accept another round of applications for the scholarship's second year.

 Networking is not something you do when you need to get a job or attract new customers. Networking is a lifestyle discipline that should be started by the time you graduate high school. Every skill required in networking is one you likely know and have used in past interactions. Now it is a matter of applying some best practices to what you already know to become an effective networker.

Even the phrase is scary, calling to mind yawning chasms void of all light and sound — and any hope for a new job.
But it doesn't have to be that way. Whether you took six months off to go BASE jumping in the Himalayas, stopped working when a kid was born or needed to leave the workforce to care for an ailing relative, there's always a way to spin things positively, says Nicole Williams, a career expert and author of Girl on Top: Your Guide to Turning Dating Rules into Career Success.

If you're planning to be the first member of your family to go to college, the whole process may seem bafflingly complex. In case it's any consolation, it can seem that way for just about anybody, first generation or not.
But there's no question that first-generation applicants face some special challenges and may not have the same supports as their second-, third- or umpteenth-generation peers.

The postdoc situation is tough right now. Hours are long, salaries are low, and the faculty job market is tight. But it's also a valuable time to develop independence, branch out from your Ph.D. research field, and pick up new skills and expertise. For this year's National Postdoc Appreciation Week, senior postdocs and early-career professors reflect on their postdoctoral experiences and offer advice about how to get the most out of this crucial transitional period. Their accounts have been edited for brevity and clarity.

"I'm not so excited about this role ... but I have to pay my rent." "So how much vacation time would I get?" "Honestly? I'm quitting because I hate my boss." It's crucial to know what not to say at a job interview because one cringeworthy remark can cost you the job. These statements are instant job interview dealbreakers.
