Mothers in Science
The aim of this book is to illustrate, graphically, that it is perfectly possible to combine a successful and fulfilling career in research science with motherhood, and that there are no rules about how to do this. On each page you will find a timeline showing on one side, the career path of a research group leader in academic science, and on the other side, important events in her family life. Each contributor has also provided a brief text about their research and about how they have combined their career and family commitments. This project was funded by a Rosalind Franklin Award from the Royal Society 1 Foreword It is well known that women are under-represented in careers in These rules are part of a much wider mythology among scientists of science. In academia, considerable attention has been focused on the both genders at the PhD and post-doctoral stages in their careers. paucity of women at lecturer level, and the even more lamentable The myths bubble up from the combination of two aspects of the state of affairs at more senior levels. The academic career path has academic science environment. First, a quick look at the numbers a long apprenticeship. Typically there is an undergraduate degree, immediately shows that there are far fewer lectureship positions followed by a PhD, then some post-doctoral research contracts and than qualified candidates to fill them. Second, the mentors of early research fellowships, and then finally a more stable lectureship or career researchers are academic scientists who have successfully permanent research leader position, with promotion on up the made the transition to lectureships and beyond. -
President's Message
Winter Issue 2013–2014 SOT News President’s Message I’m starting this President’s message with a quiz!!! It’s just one question, but it’s important that everyone knows the answer. The question is: What do prenatal programming and toxicity, perfluorinalkyl acids ,and human relevance of hemangiosarcomas in rodents have in common? [the answer appears at the end of this message]. While you ponder the answer to that question, I want to reflect on events of this fall and focus on several activities of the Society during recent times of uncertainty. The shutdown of the US government had some effect on nearly all of us. Important meetings, study sections, and day-to- day professional discussion and dialog were all furloughed during this time. However, the most significant impact was on our members who are government employees, and we can only hope that these matters are completely behind us. Unfortunately, there were significant deadlines for SOT matters scheduled during this time, particularly for abstract submissions and award President nominations. Lois D. Lehman- McKeeman I want to specifically acknowledge the work of the Scientific Program and Awards Committees for showing remarkable flexibility in modifying deadlines to accommodate member needs. As a quick review, the Awards committee moved deadlines for nominations to the last possible minute—giving them only about 1 week to review all nominations prior to meeting to select award winners. The prestigious Society awards are central to celebrating member accomplishments, and the work of this committee, against their own time limitations, underscores their commitment to this important activity. -

Conversations with Professor Peter Frederic Cane by Lesley Dingle1 and Daniel Bates2
Conversations with Professor Peter Frederic Cane by Lesley Dingle1 and Daniel Bates2 10th July 2012 This is the fourth interview for the Eminent Scholars Archive with an incumbent of the Arthur Goodhart Visiting Professor of Legal Science. Peter Cane is professor at the John Fleming Centre for Advancement of Legal Research at the Australian National University, Canberra. He holds the Goodhart chair jointly with his wife Professor Jane Stapleton. Interviewer: Lesley Dingle, her questions and topics are in bold type Professor Cane’s answers are in normal type. Comments added by LD, in italics. All footnotes added by LD. 1. Professor Cane, normally at this juncture I would be interviewing the incumbent Goodhart Professor as a follow up to a first interview, and would concentrate on how the time during the tenure had transpired. In your case, we are faced with an interesting circumstance, because the first interview was with Professor Stapleton. So, here we are, at the end of the academic year but, instead of just a backward glance, I hope we can spend a good deal of the interview looking at your early career, as well as some reflections of your time here. You and Professor Stapleton constitute the fourth holder of the Professorship, but you are the fifth incumbent to be interviewed. So, briefly, could we look at your early career, how it developed, and then come to the Goodhart material and perhaps at the end, very broadly, some aspects of your personal research interests? You were born in Maitland in New South Wales in 1950. Correct. -
