The Resnick Gerontology Center is launching a Women’s Learning and Support Network for women students and faculty interested in a career in aging research – particularly women from populations that are underrepresented in science. This network prepares and support women interested in aging research.
-
By exposing them and providing them with hands-on experiences with clinical research in the neuroscience, psychology and psychiatry of aging.
-
By providing them information, support, and guidance on the particular challenges associated with pursuing an academic career as a woman in general, and as a minority woman in particular.
-
By providing information, support, and guidance, and fostering success as graduate students, medical students, postdoctoral fellow and junior faculty.
-
By being introduced to (and be a part of) a network of women that can provide support and opportunities collaboration throughout their careers.
