  10. EMBO long term fellowships(deadlines 15 Feb. and 15 Aug.) • For PhD scientists (generally up to 35 yrs old) to work abroad in a host lab • Ca. 170 per year • Acceptance rate of 20% • Spend up to 2 yrs in host lab funded by EMBO • Mean publications in this period = 1.6 • Mean patent applications in this period = 0.1 • Source of scientific talent, both in academia and industry • Contact Sara Quirk (quirk@embo.org tel +49 6221 8891 117)

  13. Women in science • Scissors effect: equal or more women at first degree / PhD; < 5% professors • Fewer applications from women; why? • Culture of aggression • Little precedent > preservation of male dominated environment • Discrimination • Unequal pay • Trailing spouse problem (esp when partner also scientist) • Time off for children • Aggression recognised more than other valuable traits • Solutions: equal treatment; relaxation of age limits; provision of child-care facilities; ways back after a break; paternity leave; +ve discrimination in some cases to promote change of culture; women helping women • Contact Gerlind Wallon (wallon@embo.org tel +49 6221 8891 112)
