I am also a female synthetic organic chemist in a lab full of males with a male supervisor (albeit not anywhere close to the size of the Baran lab!); I spent most of this post nodding my head in agreement, glad to hear that there are others in similar situations.<br /><br />While I may be the "lab Mom" in my lab, I am not afraid to roll up my sleeves, and do the dirty maintenance jobs or the challenging experimental setup. I am, however, more than willing to ask one of my stronger colleagues to loosen the overtightened regulator, or pick up my vacuum pump so that I can empty the oil. I think it's all about putting your best effort forward, while acknowledging your limitations. <br /><br />I would love to have more female colleagues and mentors, and I hope that as I graduate from my PhD and move on to a post-doc, perhaps I'll have that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14491696432046642171noreply@blogger.com
