Career Development via the maternity ward….
Dr Sara Shinton, Shinton Consulting, UK
Children? Or Career? It can seem like you can’t have it all. My experience is very different – having children has opened my career up in a new and exciting direction and brought more professional success than I experienced BC (before children). I’ll share my perspectives and draw out useful lessons for any parent wanting to balance career and family

Ms Veronica Benson, Oxford Women's Training, UK
What the UKRC does to support women returners. Tips to returner to SET careers. Success stories and case studies
Returners, do you think you have what it takes?
Dr Pia Ostergaard, St Georges Medical School, UK
What does it take to juggle kids and career? Superwoman? Or are there others players in the field? Can you have it all without compromising? I’ll give you an insight into my experience as a 100 percent mum and part-time researcher.
About the Speakers
Dr Sara Shinton works with a range of organisations in a variety of ways, but with a common theme of improving the career management and effectiveness of scientists and researchers. Originally a chemist, she followed a PhD in materials chemistry with postdoctoral research into polymer blends. An interest in teaching and student development was fueled by an RSC-funded project on communication skills for undergraduate chemists which lead to a position as a university careers adviser. In 2000, she founded Shinton Consulting to focus on supporting researchers, particularly those on postdoctoral contracts and in the early stages of academic careers.
