I hear you. First, let me assure you that @BiophysicalSoc is as lean and possible. For the past several years, Council has voted to dip into reserve to make sure that engagement remains affordable and we maintain and even add benefits to members despite increasing costs for.... everything. Second, please let me know your thoughts as to how we can help you and others in your situation attend and engage with events.

President's Message @BiophysicalSoc helps forge interpersonal connections that glue members together into an 'organism' that is more powerful than any of its parts. Together we use science to "seek knowledge, improve the human condition, and preserve the planet for future generations"

I am eager to read this book! Learning to broadcast an authentic balance between "competent and warm" is a worthwhile goal. But is the workplace ready to appreciate a likable badass... if she identifies as female?
