News from the PWN Pipeline
The focus of this NY Times article is on promising programs that help women to reenter the competitive workplace after an extended leave. Banking institutions such as JPMorgan, Credit Suisse, and Morgan Stanley have begun offering paid internships and fellowships to highly educated and accomplished women who are returning to the workforce, with the opportunity of transitioning to full-time work. Academic institutions such as Harvard Business School and Pace Law School offer programs that help to prepare women by polishing their technical acumen (technology and writing skills) as well as resume and interview skills. The article suggests that momentum is growing for developing more programs that will equip women with the tools they need to reenter the workplace.

The Chronicle of Higher Education recently reported that women in academia are less likely to cite their own research compared to their male counterparts. Given that research citations are among the factors that are critically evaluated during hiring and promotions processes, women must take advantage of all opportunities to cite their own work in order to remain academically competitive.
