The seminar addresses the essential balance between career and family life for faculty in the physics department. It covers effective strategies to achieve that balance, including modified duties, prioritizing activities, and effective time organization. Attendees will learn how to engage children in family responsibilities, the importance of quality child care, and how to create dedicated time blocks for research, family, and career development. Discussions will also include ways the Institute can support faculty and suggestions for improved child care solutions.
