Everyone is voting for tigerkeeper... I asked two friends this the other day, both of whom are very ambitious and career minded, and they opted for burned food. Me, I'd go for tigerkeeper option as well. I figure that along with feeding the tiger, avoiding tiger claws, and cleaning up tiger poop, I might be able to study the tiger, do some tiger behavior and intelligence experiments, sponsor general lectures for the public on tiger behavior and habitat, and participate in K-12 tiger-themed outreach programs. As in, same job, different subject, with a slightly increased chance of mauling. Whereas burned food??? No way. Interesting.

L’Oreal partnered with UNESCO on this program ten years ago to help advance the role of women in science and to encourage more young women scientists to continue their pursuits in the field. Since the inception of this partnership, the For Women in Science program has awarded more than $4 million in grants to over 150 female scientists in 85 countries. In 2004, the company also established a US national fellowship program which each year awards five post-doctoral female researchers with fellowship grants of $40,000. To date, this program has awarded research grants of $500,000. You can learn more about the international or national fellowships or laureate awards at http://www.forwomeninscience.com. In May we will be recognizing the five 2008 US Fellows at the annual awards luncheon held at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The call for 2008/2009 applicants begins in August and applications close on October 31, 2008. I hope you’ll share this with any colleagues who might be eligible to apply or to check out the website for more information.
