TWS is just beginning its journey into the Blogosphere. In addition to communicating about events directly related to TWS, our group hopes this blog will become a repository for new and exiting developments in topics related to furthering support for women in all stages of academia, and science.
As our inaugural information dissemination post, let us direct your attention to a list of "Women in Science and Engineering: 12 Must-Read Bloggers" compiled by The National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. This list highlights 12 female bloggers who write on all aspects of life as a woman in science, from day to day trials of academia to elegant outreach work intended to disseminate scientific results to diverse communities.
Blogging has become an increasingly important medium for science communication, particularly among women. Find some interesting information and tips about starting your own blog in this article from Nature's Blog!
Check it out, and if you follow a blog that covers issues related to the mission of TWS but is not on this list, please write us a comment with the web-link!

Join Tiger Women in Science!
TWS is excited to begin launching events for the fall!
Please stay tuned for the announcement of our first meeting of the 2015-16 academic year for an
interest and organizational meeting. At this
meeting, we’ll formally introduce this year’s TWS organizing committee and open
with our proposed plans for the semester. Then we’ll will open up the floor for
introductions for everyone, and begin planning the schedule for the semester.
We’ll also commence organizing the mentoring groups at this meeting, so be sure
to sign-up at the meeting if you would like to be placed!
Finally, bring your friends! TWS hopes to reach as many
folks as we can, particularly as we organize mentoring groups, so be sure to spread
the word and encourage interested friends and peers to join us at our first
meeting!
Welcome to the Tiger Women in Science Blog!
Welcome
to the Tiger Women in Science Blog!
Tiger Women in Science (TWS) seeks to support graduate women in
science disciplines at the University of Missouri by fostering communication,
facilitating female mentorship, and encouraging collaboration between women at
different career stages in academia.
Many of you have heard of plans for TWS by word of mouth thus far. From now on, this blog will serve as the main communication interface for TWS, and
is where we will post information about upcoming events, useful resources from
sources within and beyond the University of Missouri, and periodical invited
and/or submitted posts on topics of interest to the group.
