Marking its 10th anniversary this year, the Women Scientists & Engineers Council (WSEC) is about to embark on a new set of initiatives to make the Lab an even better place to work, from partnering with HR on the development of new training opportunities, to exploring ways to improve communication around maternity leave for new hires.

Several Biosciences staff members are active in WSEC namely MBIB’s Jill Fuss, Work-Life Balance subcommittee, JGI’s Esther Singer, Empowerment subcommittee co-chair Esther Singer and Biosciences’ Astrid Terry, Networking subcommittee co-chair.

WSEC Champions Workplace Improvements

March 7, 2017

Women's History Month

In honor of National Women’s History Month, Berkeley Lab, in this on-line article, looked back at how the Lab’s Women Scientists & Engineers Council (WSEC) got started and what issues it is currently working on. The WSEC is a program of the Lab’s Diversity and Inclusion Office (DIO) and was founded in 2008 by what longtime members like to call the “founding mothers”—Natalie Roe of the Physics Division, Nancy Brown of the Energy Technologies Area, and Cecilia Aragon, formerly of the Computational Research Division.

At the moment, WSEC board members from Biosciences include Environmental Genomics & Systems Biology Division’s Astrid Terry and Lauren Lui; Susan Tsutakawa of the Molecular Biophysics & Integrative Bioimaging Division currently serves as the committee chair.
