The Scientista Foundation
http://www.scientistafoundation.com
The Scientista Foundation is dedicated to bridging the gaps between established professionals and young women interested in pursuing careers in the sciences. Recognizing that direct communication between women at these different stages in their careers is difficult, we seek to serve as an alternate resource to a wide readership of young women. By offering mentorship, advice, and opportunities, we hope to help young women across the country realize their career goals. We publish a bi-monthly magazine with high quality articles that discuss issues facing women in the workplace and interviews that advise up-and-coming scientists to common pitfalls they may face and opportunities that may aid them.
