Women Rock Science (2nd Ed., 2nd ed. 2024) A Pocket Guide for Success in Clinical Academic Research Careers
Auteurs : Moreno Megan A., Katzenellenbogen Rachel
?The second edition of this book builds on the success of the first edition, which had many unique features including an emphasis on success in context and how women can thrive in today's clinical research environment. In this new edition, Women Rock Science incorporates promoting inclusivity of gender diverse persons, working in the hybrid world since the COVID-19 pandemic, and the value of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), with lessons learned from other women scientists, throughout the book.
This book provides key strategies and skills around a central conceptual model as well as a sense of community with other women scientists. Clinical academic research is conducted in many forms, and Women Rock Science speaks to lab-based work, clinical work, health services/implementation science, quality improvement, medical education, health equity, and DEI-focused research throughout its chapters. The approaches and insights addressed are not narrowly focused on a discipline or a methodology of research. Rather, Women Rock Science addresses how to achieve excellence in research, across disciplines, within an academic institution.
Described as the "unwritten rules" of successfully navigating a clinical academic research career, Women Rock Science is a valuable resource that can be used in a variety of settings. It is beneficial for University classes, lab group meetings, and can be shared with one?s community of mentors, mentees and colleagues.
