Now you have to bring order to an unwieldy group of strangers and somehow unify their disparate perspectives into a meaningful conversation.

More than 40% of women with full-time jobs in science leave the sector or go part time after having their first child, according to a study of how parenthood affects career trajectories in the United States. By contrast, only 23% of new fathers leave or cut their working hours.

100% agree: the best thing you can do for your career is to have many different plans, and many different skills. Learn to communicate about science to laypeople. Learn to write (and not just scientific papers). Learn to code. Learn to teach. In undergrad, in grad school, in your postdoc. They set you apart from everyone ELSE who ALSO knows how to do research. And you never know when those “soft skills” will be just the thing an employer is looking for.

This is awesome. Too many science-featured programs only aim at kids. Adults can benefit even more from science knowledge and the scientific method - it can help them with decisions they make every day.
I just wish that there were more things featured in this list.
