They posted flyers on the back of bathroom stalls and thirty women showed up. The first sustained effort of this pick-up group was a “newsletter”—a bimonthly mimeographed job— featuring entries as diverse and important as sexist advertisements in scientific journals, job opportunities (though the jobs had not been advertised) and ACLU rulings that women should not be required to use their Zena Werb husband’s names, and that single women should qual- Chair, Women in Cell Biology Committee The American Society for Cell Biology ify to receive loans and hold mortgages. 1998-2003 In the subsequent thirty years, women in cell biolo- gy and The Women in Cell Biology have achieved suf- ficient progress as to make early concerns seem almost quaint. But the challenges faced by women in science today are, while more subtle, still real, and still attract- ing the commitment of dedicated cell biologists. We are proud of contributing to that history. One of the keys to the success of the Women in Cell Biology is that its activities and services have served the many male members of the ASCB and the scientific W. Sue Shafer community as well as its women. This has never been Chair, Women in Cell Biology Committee so true as in the past several years, when the challenge The American Society for Cell Biology of students and post-docs in establishing a satisfying 1994-1997 career in the life sciences has become acute. In response, the WICB has given high priority to pro- grams, events, publications and awards that support the career aspirations of scientists. In its way, the Women in Cell Biology Committee has become the heart and soul of the cell biology community.

Do you wonder whether being admitted to graduate school, being awarded your Ph.D., being offered an exciting postdoc position, or getting a “real job” was just a mistake on the part of others who will eventually figure that out and expose your inadequacy? If so, you may be demonstrating a classic case of the Impostor Phenomenon—you and perhaps as many as half of your colleagues! The term “Impostor Phenomenon” was coined by psychology professor Pauline Rose Clance and psy- Sue Wick chotherapist Suzanne Imes in 1978 to describe a sample University of Minnesota of more than 150 high-achieving women. Impostor Phenomenon (also known as the “Impostor Syndrome”) has been defined variously as the persist- ent belief in one’s lack of competence, skill or intelli- gence in the face of consistent objective data to the con- trary; an internal experience of intellectual fraudulence, particularly among high-achievers; the belief that one is Do you wonder whether being admitted to graduate school, being awarded your Ph.D., being offered an exciting post- doc position, or getting a “real job” was just a mistake on the part of others who will eventually figure that out and expose your inadequacy? not deserving of his/her career success and that others have been deceived into thinking otherwise; an intense subjective fear of the inability to repeat past success; a self-concept that one’s record of accomplishments is not 4 CAREER ADVICE FOR LIFE SCIENTISTS THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR CELL BIOLOGY due to ability but rather only to luck, fate, Personality Type Indicator.

Goldberg Page 7 Today scientific education is like American healthcare, profoundly—but not irrevocably—broken. Of course, I’m no early bird or lonely voice in the wilderness making this claim. ASCB Past Science and Art President Bruce Alberts’ voice has been heard loudly and clearly for quite some time, in these pages and that of Science, to name two of many venues. But despite the chorus of influential voices, and Page 19 shining examples of proven approaches, progress has been slow. The average American high school and undergraduate student is more likely to be turned off science than turned on. “Virtual Why should we care? First: Love of science shouldn’t be limited to the privileged few. Second: An understanding of science is critical to making good choices, whether as a patient, consumer, activist, Practicals” or voter.

  • Joseph L. Mayberry, Sr. Lecture Department of Pathology
    The Twenty-Fourth Annual Joseph L. Mayberry, Sr. Lecture Department of Pathology This lecture honors Joseph L. Mayberry, Sr. for his interest in the relationship between chemicals and diseases. Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine Titia de Lange joined Rockefeller University in 1990 and has been the Leon Hess Professor since 1999. She is also the Director of the Anderson Center for Cancer Research and head of the laboratory for Cell Biology and Genetics at Rockefeller University, as well as an American Cancer Society Research Professor. Dr. de Lange received her Ph.D. in Biochemistry from the University of Amsterdam and The Netherlands Cancer Institute, and completed a post-doctoral fellowship with Harold E. Varmus, who received the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the cellular origin of retroviral oncogenes. Early in her career, she became one of the first scientists to isolate the telomeres of human chromosomes. Since then, she has identified a protein complex at telomeres, which she named shelterin. Her laboratory studies how the telomeric shelterin complex prevents the activation of DNA damage signaling pathways and blocks various forms of double-strand break (DSB) repair at chromosome ends as well as the role of telomeres in genome instability in cancer. Dr. de Lange is an elected member of the Dutch Royal Academy of Sciences, the European Molecular Biology Organization, the US National Academy of Sciences, the Institute of Medicine, and the American Academy for Arts and Sciences. Among her awards are the inaugural Paul Marks Prize for Cancer Research from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, the 2011 Vilcek Prize for Biomedical Science, and the Heineken Prize from the Royal Dutch Academy for Arts and Sciences.

  • WISMAC: Past Visiting Professorships Ida M. Green Distinguished Visiting
    WISMAC: Past Visiting Professorships Ida M. Green Distinguished Visiting Professorship Honoring Women in Science and Medicine Each year the Women in Science and Medicine Advisory Committee (WISMAC) selects and hosts an outstanding female scientist/physician to visit UT Southwestern for a two-day professorship. The Southwestern Medical Foundation sponsors this event, which promotes the accomplishments of women in science and medicine and provides inspiration to our junior faculty and trainees. Our visiting professor meets with individuals and with diverse groups of women on campus and presents a University Lecture. 2010-2011 Southwestern Medical Foundation's Ida M. Green Distinguished Visiting Professorship Nancy Andrews, M.D., Ph.D., who is Professor of Pediatrics and Dean of Duke University School of Medicine, was scheduled to be honored but unfortunately her trip was cancelled because of inclement weather. 2009-2010 Southwestern Medical Foundation's Ida M. Green Distinguished Visiting Professorship Joan S. Brugge, Ph.D. gave the University Lecture on February 3, 2010 that was entitled, Extracellular Matrix Regulation of Cell Survival and Metabolism. Joan Brugge is the Chair of the Department of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Brugge graduated with a B.A. in biology from Northwestern University and she received her Ph.D. in virology from the Baylor College of Medicine. During her postdoctoral training at the University of Colorado with Raymond Erikson, she isolated the protein coded for by the viral and cellular forms of the src gene. Currently, Dr. Brugge’s laboratory is investigating normal processes that regulate cell proliferation, survival, and migration during morphogenesis and elucidating how oncogenic insults during tumorigenesis disrupt these processes to the advantage of tumor cells.
