Note to profgrrrrl
Come to think of it, "stretch gently, but not to the point of pain" is not just good advice for arm rehabilitation, but also an excellent theme for the year…

Hi, I came accross your site when I googles female research professor. I am looking for a good PhD research placement for my daughter, Christa, and I am trying to educate myself through the internet. I thought that I would look for female research professors in the life sciences because I thought they might be more sympathetic to a female student in a male dominated field. My daughter will graduate in June with a B.S. in Biochemical engineering and a minor in Biology. She is unsure of where she wants to go (she has a short list). Otherwise her only guideline to me is that she would like to do ‘meaningful’ research. She is also struggling with her cover letter. I think she is too much of a perfectionist when it comes to these kind of things but all of the sites I have seen online stress the importance of this letter. She has also had difficulty in the past securing letters of recommendation from the two researchers that she has worked with in the past; both have moved back to their countries of origin and have become difficult to reach. I think letters of reccomendation should be published on line and accessable to all for all time. Perhaps a secure site for professors and researchers that universities can access with students ID #’s. I feel so helpless in my efforts to help her. What are your reccommendations and what do you look for (or hate) in a cover letter? Thank you for sharing your site. I agree “stretch gently, but not to the point of pain” is a good mantra for life goals!
