Career Resources from SACNAS

For you science-career wonks out there, there's some good stuff in the latest SACNAS News (SACNAS stands for the Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science; this is a pdf download). And you don't have to be Native American or Chicano (or, for that matter, a science-career wonk) to benefit from it. Among the highlights of this "sustainability"-themed issue:

* Sustaining a Career in Science by Jenny Kurzweil

* How to Start Your First Lab: The Roots of Career Sustainability, by Martin Farias

* An interview with "Featured Mentor" Donna Nelson of the University of Oklahoma

* Could You, Would You, Should You Do a Postdoc? by Chris Blagden and Ivonne Vidal Pizarro.

Because it's a pdf download, I can't direct you to the particular articles. So just download the whole journal and flip through the pages. I especially enjoy reading the profiles of recent Ph.D. recipients.

The SACNAS News is published twice yearly, in the fall and in the spring.
