Event Link:
Meet four NIH Scientists. Learn their roles at the NIH, ways they balance their work-life, how they maintain self-care/wellness, and how COVID has affected this balance.
This panel discussion will focus on the challenges and joys of being a woman in science, and the importance of maintaining work-life balance and self-care, addressing the effects of being a parent or caretaker and scientist during COVID.
