Welcome! SWEEET is a symposium intended to address issues that influence the advancement of women from postgraduate degrees into academic, government, and industry positions in Ecology and Evolution. The transition into permanent jobs is a critical step during career progression that involves many challenges and concerns that are particularly relevant to women. Although a forum exists in the US to discuss the issues of advancement and retention (Women Evolving in the Biological Sciences, WEBS, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation), no such forum exists in Canada. We feel that Canadian women face similar issues and could benefit from an opportunity to discuss these challenges with mentors and each other. |
