- Based out of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York, CSHL WiSE is a network of scientists working to build a more supportive, collaborative, and equal scientific community for all. We provide a platform for professional development and empowerment through mentorship, career planning, and educational opportunities tailored toward issues disproportionately affecting women. CSHL WiSE was founded in 2015 by students, postdocs and technicians looking to create a strong and collaborative support system for women scientists at CSHL and beyond. You can learn more about our work on our website, http://cshlwise.org/. Brianna Bibel is CSHL WiSE’s Social Media Chair and a second-year graduate student studying biochemistry and structural biology at CSHL's Watson School of Biological Sciences. She recently started a website where you can follow her alter ego, The Bumbling Biochemist, on a mission to make biochemistry fun and accessible http://thebumblingbiochemist.com/ The story was published simultaneously with CSHL WiSE. Story Summary 1 We hosted a “Real Stories of Science” open mic night for scientists to share stories of failures and struggles in the pursuit of science to help destigmatize conversations around mental health. 2 Science is hard but we don’t have to go it alone.
