The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) will host (Oct. 26, 4–5 p.m. Eastern) a discussion whose topic I quote here:

  "In their recent book, Linda Babcock, Brenda Peyser, Lise Vesterlund and Laurie Weingart reveal that — across industries, jobs, and levels of seniority — women carry a heavier load of tasks that support the organization but do not advance careers.

    In this discussion, hosted by the ASBMB Women in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (WiBMB) Committee, we’ll explore why this happens and what you can do to manage your non promotable tasks (NPT) workload. We will discuss tried and true strategies that you can use to identify NPTs in your work portfolio and begin the process of bringing your workload into balance, as well as what managers can do to change the distribution of NPTs in the first place."

 Speakers:

Laurie Weingart

Carnegie Mellon University

    &

Patricia Kane–Popp

    Among the suggested audience: Who should attend - "Anyone who wishes to be an ally to women in STEM."

    It is a free event, and one can register here:
