The never-ending demands of a career in science make it challenging to balance both personal and professional responsibilities. Developed by AWIS and originally funded by the Elsevier Foundation, this well-attended workshop helped identify the levels of personal fulfillment and professional success right for each individual. Facilitated by AWIS board members: Keng Jin Lee, Marina Pazin and Tara Teppen, the workshop focused on strategies to help achieve work-life satisfaction. The successful workshop was highly interactive, with insights shared by attendees to the group as a whole or in small groups.

AWIS Chicago also helped organize some fun Family Science Day activities revolving around genetics and computer science. A great time was had by both the children and the scientists!
