In the Chronicle: How Babies Alter Careers for Academics is an account of the work of Mary Ann Mason, dean of the graduate division at the University of California at Berkeley, who conducted a study to be published in 'Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science' next year.
She says she wanted "to address the question my women graduate students always ask me, Is there a good time to have a baby?"
The results? Having children derails a woman's career while enhancing a man's career.

If you are interested in on site childcare,
please click on the "Full Story" link below for instructions on how to submit the survey as well as the actual survey questions.
Sincerely,
